Evaluation of an Instrument to Detect Presence, Size and Depth of Steel Embedded in Portland-Cement Concrete
Abstract
Two portable, lightweight instruments, operating on the principle of comparing the fixed electromagnetic characteristics of a reference transformer with the variable ones of a measured transformer, were evaluated for ability to locate and identify reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete. Both instruments were tested for locating reinforcing rods, identifying rods up to 1 in. in diameter with a cover of 2 to a in., and determining thickness of concrete cover to an accuracy of 1/4 in.
