Abstract

Non-destructive testing can be applied to various things, including sandwich panels. Sandwich panels made of EPS are greatly affected by the mixing process. Bad mixing can affect the level of homogeneity and reduce quality. In addition, the improper thickness of layers and cores can result in wall damage. For this reason, carrying out a non-destructive test on the sandwich panel is necessary. This study aims to determine the homogeneity of the material and predict the dimensions of the EPS core and layer. Experimental testing was conducted using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (direct method) with 90 points. The test object consisted of six sandwich panel walls with three variants, each with dimensions and layer thickness of 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm, respectively, while the core layer size was 70 mm, 80 mm, and 90 mm, respectively. The test results were analyzed on travel time and wave velocity using a statistical analysis approach including covariance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA, t-test, and Lagrangian. The analysis results show that the mixture's homogeneity can be determined based on the ultrasonic pulse velocity. The proposed Lagrange analysis can reveal the behavior of the propagation speed. Based on the results of the Lagrange approach, the highest speed is obtained at a thickness of 80 with a maximum speed of 2.395 km/s. The results of this study contribute to the non-destructive test procedure, especially in determining homogeneity and the dimensions of the effective thickness of the structural walls (cores and layers) that have been installed in the field quickly, cheaply, accurately, and briefly.

Abstract

Mortar is used for bonding bricks, filling gaps in masonry, and as a plaster for strengthening and smoothing wall surfaces in finishing works. Poor quality of mortar can cause cracks in the walls which are identified after the building is completed. Assessment of a building is essential to determine its quality. Non-destructive testing is widely chosen because it will not directly affect the physical building condition. However, there still needs to achieve a good fit equation that can be used to estimate mortar quality using non-destructive testing. This research aimed to propose a formula to predict the mortar quality using an ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test with porosity and compressive strength in the mortar with limestone. Variations in adding the lime powder to the mortar mix are 20%, 30%, 40%, and 55%. It was divided into M, S, N, and O types. The mortar cubes were prepared based on ASTM C-1329 and ASTM C-270. The specimens were then evaluated with UPV, porosity, and compressive strength test using three samples for each test. Equations for the relationship between UPV and porosity and compressive strength can be derived from these tests. The results showed that the value of the ultrasonic pulse speed is directly proportional to the compressive strength of the mortar, which fits the equation y = 0.0542e0.0015x, and is inversely proportional to the porosity, showing the equation y = 108.57e-6E-04x. The results of this study can be used to assess the quality of new construction works and existing buildings.

Abstract

Concrete is a material that is widely used in construction. Concrete research efforts are ongoing and through a series of experimental tests. On the other hand, experimental tests require a lot of money, take a long time, and create waste. Several studies have revealed that numerical testing can accurately test concrete to fractures. However, modeling for the four-point load flexure test pattern is still not widely discussed. This study aimed to model the four-point flexural test of concrete using the discrete element method (DEM) approach. Sieve gradation was performed to determine particle size, and flexure testing was performed to calibrate the DEM model. DEM flexure testing was made using Yet Another Dynamic Engine (YADE) software with ASTM D6272 reference and beam dimensions 105 x 105 x 535 mm. The cohesive contact model with spherical particles is used, and the algorithm developed modifies the faceted sphere of interaction. The study results revealed that DEM can simulate crack behavior in flexural testing of unreinforced concrete. The DEM results show only a 2.13% difference in the experimental results of the flexural strength test. Meanwhile, crack behavior can be observed directly in the DEM simulation. The results of this study can be used to predict the failure pattern of the flexural test structure and to design the right proportion of the mixture to match the desired flexural strength. So that material efficiency and concrete flexure testing time can be achieved.
