Early detection of defects in concrete structures, such as bridges or dams, is essential to optimize the maintenance of civil engineering facilities. Optical methods constitute non-destructive means of control and measurement but they are generally confined in laboratories where both the setup and environnement are controlled. The method of shearography is especially well adapted to detect damages due to both its capacity to distinctly visualize strain concentration zones and its robustness. The experimental set-up is relatively compact, which enables to examine an extensive surface area by simply moving the shearographic head. In this paper, the application of this methodology for the detection of cracks is presented on concrete samples and circulated outside concrete structures. Due to its sensitivity to strain concentration, shearography is able to detect structural cracks, even when they were not through-cracks. Operational implementation is made on two circulated structures with experts in manual cracks detection. No stimulation device is used. In the first structure, cracks are detected on the bridge deck and on the bridge abutment. In the second structure, cracks on the intrados of the bridge deck are detected and also beginning of cracks which have not been detected by the visual inspection. Different areas are scanned and the results are in agreement with the visual inspection. This technique enables detecting cracks on structures subjected to traffic load. The natural loading of an engineering structure, i.e. the rolling traffic it bears, proves well suited for cracks detection by means of shearography, provided traffic patterns are regular enough.

Proceedings Volume 5856, (2005) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.611268

The metallic and concrete structures used in civil Engineering show their defects by the appearance of cracks. We report crack detection laboratory tests on a piece of armed concrete stimulated by acoustic waves. The feasibility of detecting non-emerging (hence invisible to a human observer) cracks is demonstrated. Our results show a good visual correlation between differential speckle interferometry, (a.k.a. shearography) and laser optical feedback imaging (LOFI). The advantages of shearography are its compacity, resolution and rapidity (it is a direct full view technique), but in this application, the information it provides is essentially qualitative. On the contrary the LOFI technique measures the difference of vibration amplitude on each side of the defect. Moreover its good sensitivity enables long-range measurement, but the image resolution and acquisition time depend on the tuning of scanning mirrors.
