Correlation Between Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Permeability Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composite Incorporating Glass Powder
摘要
Recent studies have shown that glass powder can be used as supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in engineered cementitious composites (ECC). However, there is a need to evaluate the long-term permeability properties of conventional ECC and those incorporating glass powder as SCM. Also, the limited use of non-destructive test methods to evaluate ECC has called for a need to investigate the response of ECC to non-destructive tests (NDT) and create a correlation between these NDT results and other properties of ECC. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the long-term permeability properties of ECC incorporating glass powder. Ultrasonic pulse velocity was also used as a non-destructive test to evaluate the performance of the ECC. Results observed from this study showed a correlation between the ultrasonic pulse velocity passing through the ECC and the permeability properties. Results from this study will serve as a useful resource for evaluating the performance of ECC based on non-destructive tests such as that of ultrasonic pulse velocity.
