Non-Destructive Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Structures with Magnetic Flux Leakage and Eddy Current Methods—Comparative Analysis
Abstract
:1. Introduction
1.1. Motivation
1.2. Non-Destructive Methods for Testing Concrete Structures
- 1.
- Visual condition of concrete—the category is represented by the oldest NDT method: visual inspection (VI).
- 2.
- Evaluation of electromagnetic properties—this approach offers several advantages, including direct interaction with the reinforcement, minimal attenuation of electromagnetic waves by concrete, cost-effectiveness, and a broad range of operational principles and applications. This category can be further divided into three subcategories:
- a.
- Magnetic properties—this category encompasses passive methods, such as the residual magnetization technique (RMT), and active methods where the object being tested is continuously magnetized, as seen in magnetic flux leakage (MFL), or magnetized before testing, as in magnetic particle inspection (MPI) [4,5,6];
- b.
- c.
- 3.
- 4.
- Carbonation level of concrete—providing insights into the risk of corrosion of the carbonation mechanism (the connection between corrosion and carbonation is described in [12]); this parameter can be evaluated using three different properties:
- a.
- Electrical properties—this category includes the half-cell potential method (HCP) and concrete resistivity method (CR). The HCP technique assesses the capacity (electrochemical potential) between a reference electrode placed on the structure surface and reinforcement placed inside the structure [15,16]. The CR is used to measure the electrical resistivity of concrete [17,18,19]. Both electrical properties change while the carbonation process progresses;
- b.
- c.
- 5.
- 6.
- Mechanical properties of the whole structure—the methods test propagation of mechanical waves (sonic and ultrasonic frequencies)—waves may be generated by the tested object (passive method), like in the case of acoustic emission (AE) [25,26], by induced electromagnetic waves, like in the case of electromagnetic acoustic transduction (EMAT), or by mechanical wave—impact echo (IE) and most forms of ultrasonic testing (UT) [27,28,29,30,31].
- 7.
- Natural frequencies of the whole structure (low frequency)—the methods in this category investigate the resonance frequencies of the object. Vibrations can be induced by electromagnetic waves (as seen in the M5 system), physical impact (such as in the hammer impact test (HIT)), or passively through vibration monitoring (VM). Modal analysis is frequently employed in this type of testing [6,32,33].
- Evaluation of rebars: this category assesses the capability to locate reinforcing bars and identify their class and diameter within typical concrete cover thickness ranges (20–50 mm).
- Evaluation of corrosion: this category evaluates the ability to detect corrosion by examining delamination and diameter reduction, focusing on standard concrete cover thickness ranges.
- Evaluation of h (concrete cover thickness): this criterion measures the method’s effectiveness in estimating the thickness of the concrete cover within typical ranges.
- Evaluation of carbonation: this category involves analyzing various changes in the physical properties of concrete that indicate ongoing carbonation processes.
- Evaluation of concrete: this category serves to assess concrete integrity. The criterion includes the detection of delamination, large air voids, macro heterogeneities, and cracks within the concrete.
- Area testing (spatial measurement capability): this category highlights the method’s ability to conduct measurements simultaneously at many points (creating a measurement matrix).
- Commercial viability: this criterion evaluates the method’s usability for commercial applications, including cost measurements and any technical limitations that may affect its utility.

1.3. Selection of the Magnetic Sensor
2. Measuring Systems, Materials and Methods
2.1. Methodology
2.1.1. Feature Extraction
- The number of attributes used in the model should be kept to a minimum to reduce the impact of the curse of dimensionality;
- The attributes should be independent and demonstrate low correlation with each other. When attributes are dependent or exhibit high correlation, they can exacerbate the curse of dimensionality without providing meaningful knowledge;
- The attributes included in the model must accurately represent the shape and characteristics of the measured waveforms.
2.1.2. Extraction of Association Rules
- Set A includes only the structure’s physical parameters;
- Set B includes only the waveform’s parameters;
- The BODY length equals 1; only one physical parameter (A) can change.
2.2. Measuring System and Samples
2.2.1. Samples
2.2.2. Comparison of Measuring Systems
- Transducer size: a larger transducer size results in lower spatial resolution and higher effective range.
- Excitation frequency: a lower frequency results in lower spatial resolution and higher effective range.
- Magnetic induction (B).
- The excitation system consists of two neodymium magnets. These strong magnets effectively magnetize the reinforcing bars, eventually producing a significantly stronger signal than the EC method.
- The high distance between the magnets and the transducer (500 mm) significantly limits direct interaction. In this method, the only adjustable parameters are the strength of the magnets and the distance between them (Figure 12b). This setup also facilitates the development of an area-testing transducer [41];
- The stationary magnets are placed directly above the tested rebar (no movement during measurement). This minimizes the influence of neighbor rebars in the reinforcement grid on measurement results, allowing for effective measurements even at much greater distances than those achievable with EC.

3.1.2. Features Extraction from Measurement Waveforms
- Unlike the EC waveforms, the magnetic measurements display an offset that can be utilized as a distinct attribute;
- Attributes obtained from the Bx component (MFL method) and magnitude (EC method) can be determined using the same approach (presented in Figure 5);
- For spatial components By and Bz, the equal intervals in the domain of amplitude method were employed to extract attributes.
