1. INTRODUCTION

Non-Destructive testing of bridge Structure on “Nagbhir-Brahmapuri-Armori (NH 353D)

section) at Ch: 114+000” was conducted for “Ajwani Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.”, near
Brahmapuri. The NDT was intended to determine the quality and strength of the
concrete at selected location. Scope of the work included Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
(UPV), Rebound Hammer (RH) tests and Carbonation tests.

2. TEST DETAILS

Tests were conducted on selected point of each structure. For every structure, the
number and the location of points for testing were directed and guided by costumer
officials. All the tests at field were witnessed by the officials of costumer officials.

For UPV test, direct and indirect measurements were recorded. Rebound Hammer tests
were conducted at 10 spots (minimum 25 mm apart) for each point. On total, 87 points
were tested for both rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Concrete carbonation test was carried to determine the extent of carbonation caused
by CO2 on the structure.

The details of the reading and photographs of testing are attached in annexure.

3. PROVISION OF IS FOR NDT

a. As per IS: 13311 (Part II): 1992, clause no. 8.1, “The estimation of strength of
concrete by rebound hammer method cannot be held to be very accurate; and
probable accuracy of predictions of concrete strength in a structure is ± 25 %”

b. Quality of concrete defined by IS: 13311 (Part I): 1992. Is as under:

Velocity By Cross Probing Concrete Quality Grading

Above 4500 m/second Excellent

3500 to 4500 m/second Good

3000 to 3500 m/second Medium

Below 3000 m/second Doubtful

4. CONCLUSSION

 Based on the Rebound hammer test results, concrete at maximum tested

locations comply with M25 grade.
 Ultrasonic pulse velocity test indicates the concrete comply with Medium results;
whereas the concrete in abutments & slab portion show doubtful results in quality
grading as per IS: 13311 Part-I.
 The carbonation test indicates that the extent of carbonation is only 2 to 3 mm.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

 Grouting of slab & abutments is recommended with no-shrink epoxy grout and its
quality should be ensured.
 The design of the existing bridge is recommended to be verified by structural
engineer for the above given strength and quality of concrete as per the future
loading conditions.
 The structure should be protected against carbonation by applying suitable
surface treatment to prevent ingress.
