  • Patent number: 11733212
    Abstract: A method for quantitative analysis of a cavity at the top of a concrete-filled steel tube is disclosed. By substitution of the determined inner radius of the steel tube, the thickness of the steel tube wall and the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in the steel tube and in the concrete, the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the top and the bottom of the concrete-filled steel tube enables calculation of the height of the cavity. The method can be used to quantify the cavity height at the top of the concrete-filled steel tube, with small relative errors and high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11630097
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a quantitative evaluation method for concrete workability based on bottom resistance, including the following steps: step 1, carrying out a test for bottom resistance of fresh concrete; step 2, drawing a curve of inserting velocity of steel sheet over time; and step 3, quantitatively evaluating a concrete workability based on conditions of the bottom resistance. This method can quantitatively characterize the sinking condition of aggregate of the fresh concrete by effectively carrying out the test for bottom resistance of fresh concrete, calculating the inserting velocity of concrete and drawing the curves of displacement and velocity over time, so as to achieve the quantitative evaluation for concrete workability and overcome the defects of conventional methods that it is difficult to quantitatively characterize the segregation degree of concrete.

  • Publication number: 20210310993
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for quantitative analysis of cavity zone of the top of the concrete-filled steel tube, comprising the following steps: By substitution of the determined inner radius of the steel tube, the thickness of the tube wall and the propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the steel tube, the propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the concrete, and the starting time of the first wave when the ultrasonic wave propagating between the top and the bottom of the concrete-filled steel tube into the calculation model of the cavity height of the top of the concrete-filled steel tube, to obtain the cavity height of the top of the concrete-filled steel tube; the calculation model of the cavity height is: t = ( x 1 + d 2 + 2 ? x 2 ? ( d + r ) v s + 4 ? r 2 + d 2 + 4 ? rd - 2 ? r ? h - 2 ? hd - d 2 + 2 ? x 2 ? ( d + r ) v c ) ; wherein, x1 and x2 are both calculation variables, and their values are: x 1 =
