| Summary: | A study was performed for the purpose of developing a non-destructive method to evaluate corrosion damaged pre-stressing steel in jacketed concrete piles by using a cover meter. The procedure first involved taking cover meter readings with the pile jacket in place. Subsequently, a portion of the jacket was removed and tendon diameter measurements were taken. A relation for normalized tendon diameter as a function of normalized cover was determined, where normalized cover increased with a decrease in normalized tendon diameter. Finally, it is projected that the cover meter is a useful non-destructive tool to estimate the remaining tendon diameter in the inspection of jacketed, prestressed concrete piles and to this end to characterize the residual structural integrity of piles. | |
