چکیده
The sounding of the tendon ducts and rebars remains difficult due to their non accessibility and the important thickness of the cover concrete layer. This paper presents an active method to evaluate the poor filling of tendon ducts by way of active infrared thermography. This experiment is performed on two laboratory specimens. The experimental set-up depicts the non contacting heating technique based on the induction. A new systemic approach based on the transfer functions analysis of the thermograms is presented. This kind of data process illustrates the interest of magnitude and dephasing images. Résumé L’auscultation des gaines de précontrainte et des aciers passifs reste difficile à cause de leur non accessibilité et de l’épaisseur importante du béton de recouvrement. Cet article présente une méthode d’auscultation active par thermographie infrarouge afin de détecter le faible remplissage des gaines de précontrainte. L’expérimentation est effectuée sur deux corps d’épreuve de laboratoire. Le dispositif expérimental décrit la méthode de chauffage sans contact basée sur l’induction. Une nouvelle approche systémique basée sur l’analyse des fonctions de transfert est présentée. Ce mode de traitement des données montre l’intérêt des images d’amplitude et de déphasage.
