This publication is the final report on the three-year project entitled "Ultrasonic evaluation methods applicable to polymer concrete composites." The project was sponsored by the M.Skłodowska-Curie US-Polish Joint Fund II. The project was collaboratively carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD, USA and the Institute of Construction Engineering and Management (ICEM), Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland. Edward J. Garboczi (NIST) and Andrzej Garbacz (ICEM, from Prof. Lech Czarnecki’s Building Polymer Composites Group), were the principal investigators.
The main objective of the project was to evaluate the possibility of implementing ultrasonic
methods for the nondestructive assessment of polymer composite properties. The two main fields
of polymer composite applications, anticorrosion protection of concrete structures (including
industrial floors) and polymer concrete pre-cast elements, were both taken into account. The
possibility of nondestructive evaluation of the quality of multi-layer repair systems, including
adhesion mapping, has arisen as the most interesting result of the project. The design of the
experimental program was developed by the principal investigators, and was carried out at the
ICEM laboratories. NIST also collaborated in the interpretation of the test results and preparation
of the report.
