Soniscope Investigation of Elmendorf AFB Hospital, Anchorage, Alaska

Abstract

The hospital building at Elmendorf AFB, Anchorage, Alaska, was one of the many structures damaged by the earthquake which occurred on 27 March 1964. The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station furnished a soniscope and crew to make velocity measurements on concrete of suspected inferior quality in the hospital to locate any concrete damaged by cracking or shattering that might not be evident from a visual inspection and to obtain an indication of the success of repair by epoxy grouting.
