Experimental Study of Bellows Duct Grouting Compactness with Quantitative Detection

In order to quantitatively detect the compactness of bellows duct grouting, by studying time-histories relation curve forming by ultrasonic wave transmitting in different thicknesses concrete samples. We get the acoustic time rule after ultrasonic passed through different compactness bellows duct. At the same time, establishing empty hole estimation model corresponding to the concrete samples and providing theoretical basis for judging porosity and predicting the grouting quality in the bellows duct. Meanwhile, dividing the bellows duct into five degrees complete compactness, 3/4 compactness, 1/2 compactness, 1/4 compactness, empty by setting up defects in the bellows duct, and then embedding them in concrete slab to do ultrasonic detection. The detection result shows that ultrasonic detection method can effectively quantitive estimate the grouting quality of prestressed bellows duct with establishing empty hole estimation model.
