| 摘要： | Our water resources infrastructure is susceptible to aging degradation just like the rest of this country’s infrastructure. A critical component of the water supply system is the flood gate that controls the outflow fin>m dams. Long steel rods called tendons attach these radial gates to the concrete in the dam. The tendons arc typically forty feet long and over one inch in diameter. Moisture may seep into the grout around the tendons and cause corrosion. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is working with the California Department of Water Resources to develop advanced ultrasonic techniques for nondestructively inspecting their tendons. A unique transducer was designed and fabricated to interrogate the entire tendon. A robust, portable unit was assembled that included a computer controlled data acquisition system and specialized data processing software to analyze the ultrasonic signals This system was tested on laboratory specimens and is presently being fielded at two dam sites. |
