Nondestructive methods based on propagation of sonic and ultrasonic waves are being used increasingly in the United States and internationally for forensic investigations of existing structures and for quality assurance of new construction. Of particular interest is the quality assurance of newly constructed drilled shaft foundations. Many state departments of transportation specify nondestructive testing of drilled shaft foundations, particularly for shafts drilled and placed under wet construction conditions. For quality assurance of drilled shaft foundations of bridges, the crosshole sonic logging (CSL) and sonic echo and impulse response (SE/IR) methods routinely are used. In the CSL method, access tubes are installed in the shaft before concrete placement. SE/IR measurements require that the top of the shaft be accessible after concrete placement. Proper test setups, specifications, and case studies are presented to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods. Also presented are recommendations for repair when a defect is identified in a drilled shaft foundation. The CSL method is more effective for locating defects. CSL measurements are effective for determining anomalies and defects between two access tubes. However, an accurate image of the defect cannot be determined from a CSL test alone. The crosshole tomography (CT) method uses multiple CSL logs with varying receiver locations to produce a two-dimensional image of the defect. The CT method is discussed and a dataset obtained from a drilled shaft foundation is presented. CT data collection and analysis require more time than the CSL method, and the CT method is used only for critical drilled shaft foundations. |
