|
To ascertain quality,
strength and condition of various structural members in existing building. |
|
To assess damage of the
building resulting from excessive loads, fire, weathering effect,
abnormal exposure condition, aggressive environment, corrosion of
steel, lack of maintenance or due to natural calamities like earthquake,
cyclone, heavy rain, flooding, etc. |
|
For preparing as-built
record and condition mapping of the building with reference to strength
and quality of concrete and distribution of reinforcement for each
structural member. |
|
For Quality Assurance
and Quality Control of ongoing construction by ascertaining in-situ
strength, quality and condition of concrete. To verify the position,
diameter and cover to embedded reinforcement. |
|
For upgradation of structural
capacity of the building. |
|
To determine the stripping
time of formwork for concrete members. |
|
To obtain various in-situ
parameters like strength, modulus of elasticity, quality, location,
diameter and cover to reinforcement, depth of carbonation, chloride
content, core strength of concrete, vibrations of buildings, crack
depth penetration, etc. |
|
For understanding dynamic
behavior of buildings by measuring vibration parameters like amplitude
of displacement, velocity and acceleration. |
|
To know the potentiality
of reinforcement corrosion in the concrete. |
|
To evaluate the repair
/ strengthening work by comparing pre-repair and post-repair test
results. |
