6 Common Building Defects Concrete Spalling Concrete Honey Combing
7 Common Building Defects Spalling and Cracks
8 Risks to the Structure
9 Risks to the Public
10 Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme ( MBIS ) Require building owners to carry out regular building inspections and repair works in respect of their buildings Cover private buildings aged 30 years or above, except domestic buildings not exceeding three storeys in height Building owners will be required to carry out an inspection once every 10 years Areas to be inspected: common parts, external walls, certain projections and signboards of a building
11 Our Discussion 1. Mainly concentrated on reinforced concrete structures 2. Sharing non-destructive test methods to support MBIS: - estimate concrete strength - identify possible defects - locate reinforcement and estimate their sizes - estimate corrosion activities Please refer to Buildings Department s Web Site for the most updated Registered Personnel under MBIS

13 Building Diagnostic Tests on Concrete Carbonation test Covermeter survey Half-cell potential measurement Infrared thermography Resistivity measurement Surface hardness measurement Surface penetration radar survey Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurement
14 Building Diagnostic Tests on Concrete Carbonation test carbonation depth Covermeter survey concrete cover Half-cell potential measurement rebar corrosion Infrared thermography debond on external wall
15 Building Diagnostic Tests on Concrete Resistivity measurement corrosion risk of reinforced concrete Surface hardness measurement concrete strength Surface penetration radar survey rebar layout, concrete cover Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurement concrete strength
16 Carbonation test Principle: Carbonation of concrete occurs when the carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere in the presence of moisture, reacts with hydrated cement minerals to produce carbonates, e.g. calcium carbonate. The extent of carbonation is determined by spraying a freshly exposed surface of the concrete with a 1% phenolphthalein solution. The calcium hydroxide is coloured pink while the carbonated portion is uncoloured.
17 Covermeter Survey Principle: This method is mainly used for locating reinforcing steel within a concrete member by measurement of the change of an electromagnetic field caused by steel embedded in the concrete.
18 Half-cell potential measurement Principle: The risk of corrosion of the reinforcement in the immediate region of the test location may be related empirically to the measured potential difference by the Half cell equipment. The test involves measurement of the potential difference between the metal in reference electrode and the steel in concrete.
19 Infrared thermography Principle: IR involves the recording of surface temperature differentials on a concrete member undergoing heating or cooling. Hidden features, including voids or cracks, will influence the local rate of heating or cooling and may be detected by examination of temperature contour plots.
20 Resistivity measurement Principle: Measurement of electrical resistivity to assess the corrosion risk of reinforced concrete structures.
21 Surface hardness measurement Principle: This test method involves applying a rebound hammer to the concrete surface. The hammer measures the rebound of a springloaded mass impacting against the concrete surface. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. By reference to the conversion chart, the rebound value can be used to determine the compressive strength of concrete surface.
22 Surface hardness measurement There are different types of rebound hammers design for different situations. For example: Concrete with compressive strengths<25 N/mm 2, the P type rebound hammer is more preferable
23 Surface penetration radar survey Principle: A surface penetration radar system is used to examine the reflections of short duration pulses from interfaces between materials with different dielectric constants lying below the surface. Reinforcing bars, voids and ducts may be identified and thickness of slabs may also be determined.
24 Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurement Principle: The method is based on the study of sound wave propagation through concrete materials and more particularly o the measurement of their velocity of transmission. Measurement of pulse velocity can be used to determine the integrity of concrete specimen such as homogeneity, presence of voids, cracks or other imperfections.
