Conduits through Embankment DamsFigure 144.—GPR profiles along a conduit invert. The large amplitude white-blackreflection patterns are associated with concrete underlain by voids in drill holes (DH)DH-05-01 through -03.for generated sonar pulses to return to the transducer (through air or water) are afunction of the distance that the pulse travels, it is possible to precisely measure thedistance to the conduit surface. When processed by a computer, thousands of thesemeasurements can be used to generate a map (figure 145) of the condition(deflection, joint size, depth of deterioration, etc.) of the conduit. The precision ofthe system is such that measurements of fractions of an inch can be made. Thesonic velocity can vary with temperature and humidity, and calibration is requiredprior to commencing with the inspection. The accuracy of the measurementsdepends upon the calibration. The sonar can also be used in navigating thetransporting unit within the conduit.Recent improvements in this technology allowed the USACE to investigate thecondition of a conduit without unwatering it. A computer processed signals receivedfrom sensors mounted on an ROV to generate three-dimensional images. The usercan manipulate the images on the screen in real time to change the observationalpoint of view via graphics software. Thus, the graphics software allows the user to254
Chapter 10—Evaluation by Geophysical and Nondestructive TestingFigure 145.—A rotating sonar transducer mounted on a sled can be pulledthrough a conduit to measure and record changes in dimensions along theconduit. This can be very useful when determining the size for a proposedslipliner. Here, the measured corrosion loss of the crown of a steel pipe isshown at many locations on one image. The bottom of the conduit wassubmerged. The sonar device can work in water or air, but requiresdifferent settings for each. Thus, both above water and underwater sonarmeasurements cannot be made at the same time, although a mechanicaldevice on the sonar sled can simultaneously provide information for thebottom of the pipe.

Features that are notvisible from the camera’s view angle can become readily apparent (Britzman andHansen, 2002, p. 3).10.6 Ultrasonic pulse-echo and ultrasonic pulse-velocityThese methods measure the velocity and frequency content of acoustic pulses ofenergy through metallic (i.e., CMP) and nonmetallic (e.g., concrete) materials.Piezoelectric transducers are passed through the structure using a “smart pig” deviceor are attached to the structure to transmit and receive the pulses.These methods generally use a source with known impulse characteristics, so that atransfer function can be computed between the input and the measured output(receiver) signal. By examining typical and nontypical (anomalous) velocity andfrequency information, correlations may be established between sound and poorconcrete conditions, and the corresponding acoustic signatures.255
