Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to find an efficient heat source to amplify the surface temperature of damaged concrete structures for infrared thermography. we compare two different heat sources of far-infrared lamp and halogen lamp each other for their efficiency. The two heat sources were applied to the concrete specimens. Two different concrete specimens were used: one was the concrete containing internal void and the other was wrapped with partially unbonded fiber reinforced polymer sheet. it was found that the far-infrared lamp was more efficient than the halogen lamp. In addition, we propose a new algorithm to make the damage zone displayed clear in the image obtained from the thermographic operation. The algorithm is a combination of Gauss filtering process and the Prewitt mask operation.

본 논문의 목적은 열화상 비파괴 검사기법을 적용시 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 표면온도를 증폭시키기 위해 사용되는 외부 열원의 효율성을 알아보기 위함이다. 원적외선램프와 할로겐램프의 적용성과 효율성을 서로 비교하였다. 이를 위해 전술한 두 개의 열원을 콘크리트의 내부공극과 FRP쉬트의 비부착 결함 시험체에 적용하였다. 본 연구결과, 원적외선램프가 할로겐램프보다 더 효율적인 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 손상영역을 효과적으로 검출하기위해서 가우스 필터와 프리윗 마스크 화상처리기법을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다.
