Experimental Research on the Pipe Grouting Quality Based on Antenna Array Radar

Abstract

Abstract Experimental research on the pipe grouting quality is carried out by detecting the concrete test piece with high-frequency antenna array radar. First, the principle of detecting the pipe grouting quality with ground-penetrating radar is introduced, and then the pipe grouting situation is researched systematically and completely with three methods, including the oscillogram of a single wave, grey-scale image (2D imaging) and slice image (3D imaging) of antenna array radar, and the research results are verified with an indoor test model. The results show that: Pipe can be positioned precisely with antenna array ground-penetrating radar; for failure of judgment of the grouting fullness of metal pipes and the grouting fullness situation of non-metal pipes, the pipe grouting quality can be identified with the oscillogram of a single wave, grey-scale image (2D) and slice image (3D) respectively; Radar detection 3D image can present the position of a pipe in the structure intuitively and accurately, and, the pipe material and the pipe grouting fullness can be judged by comparing the radar detection 3D image and the 3D slice image.
