| Summary: | This paper aims to present a non-destructive magnetic method developed for simultaneously identifying key parameters in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This method is designed to evaluate concrete structures containing dense reinforcement meshes. The development process of the system is presented step by step. First, the hardware layer of the system is discussed and documented. The proposed modifications to the excitation system enhanced the method’s effectiveness compared to the conventional Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technique. Next, this paper presents the extracted association rules that connect the parameters of the RC structure to the properties of resultant waveforms. The relations are verified with measurement results. Finally, the identification of the model’s design, implementation, and deployment processes are presented. A universal methodology for non-destructive testing investigations was developed and is described throughout the research. |
