Post-processing/Analysis (PSPA)
SHRP2 R06G Pittsburgh TunnelsAdvanced Infrastructure Design (AID)
Modulus Results:Dynamic/seismic modulus measured with PSPA can be approximately correlated with concrete strength. In general, larger modulus corresponds to larger strength.
A correlation can be obtained if compressive strength data available

Post-processing/Analysis (PSPA)

IE Results:Frequency domain of the seismic waves is analyzed.Larger variations from the dominant frequency indicate delamination/debonding
Intact vs. Debonded locations can be obtained.

• AID is Spacetec’s representative and service
provider in North America.
• AID does not own the system yet!
• Scanners need to get shipped to US
• Cost depends on scan length (SL):
– Most tubes need to be scanned only once
(distance between scanner and any point <16’)
– 3.8 $/SL to 12 $/SL

• Debonding is not full-proof! It can be detected
only if sufficient temperature gradient exists
(between debonded areas and the adjacent
areas) at the time of scanning.
• Probes can be inserted into tunnel walls to
determine the most optimum time, however:
– The ideal time for scanning may not correspond to
Authority’s desired time for closure
– Requires additional closure (for probe installation)
– Costs more! 34

• A mature/mobile system (SHRP2 study)
• A complete survey of all distresses (walls and
ceiling)
• A complete survey of all locations with
moisture intrusion
• An excellent tool for asset management
• See growth of distresses over time
• Tie profile to survey base-line
• Debonding, if sufficient temperature gradient
exists at time of scanning 35
