ANALYSIS OF DATA:-
5.1
(a)
Bridge No. 355 :Reinforcement scanning & Cover measurements:- No. of bars scanned
with the instrument in vertical direction are 10 and the scanned spacing of
bars varies between 33 mm to 93 mm, whereas, the spacing as per
drawing is 150 mm. No. of bars scanned in horizontal direction are 9 and
spacing varies between 44 mm to 75 mm, whereas the spacing as per
drawing is 140 mm. Measured values of cover at four locations are 34
mm, 41 mm, 43 mm and 44 mm. The concrete cover as per drawing is 40
mm (refer Annexure IX, fig. No.1).

Co-Relation of Observed Data:The observed values for concrete quality (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity),
corrosion probability (Resistivity values), corrosion activity (Potential
values) and concrete compressive strength are co-related with the
following standards.
(a)
Concrete qualityAs per IS 1331 1 (Part-I) : 1992 the concrete quality is divided in four
categories in terms of pulse velocity.
