9. A concrete beam was tested to evaluate the depth of a transverse surface crack (indirect
transmission). The emitter transducer was fixed in a location and the receiver transducer was
moved along the length of the beam. The recorded readings are as follows:
Distance from emitter (mm) | 250 | 400 | 650 [900 [1200 | 1500 [1800 | 2000 [2250 _]
[ransient time (u sec [61_[9s_|1ss|225|339 [413 [487 [536 _|585_|
Given that the crack axis could be located at 1000 mm from the location of the emitter transducer,
Calculate: The crack depth
+ Average ultrasonic pulse velocity in the concrete and evaluate its quality.
10. The loading test was conducted on a slab of dimensions 5.8m x 8.4 m x 20 cm, the measured
deflection after 24 hours of applying the full load = 9.4 mm & the deflection after 24 hours of
removing the load = 1.8 mm. Comment on acceptance of test results according to Egyptian code.
11. Loading Test

b. What is the value of the test load?
c. What is the used equipment?
d. What are the procedures of applying test load?
e. What are the procedures of the test? & what are the measurements taken?
f. What are the calculated values & how can we evaluate the test results?
