Maintenance for concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels is necessary, because it is thought that a lot of them show deterioration. As a periodic inspection, a hammering test is the most popular method. However, it has several problems. One of the problems is that it is difficult to inspect the places where people cannot reach. Therefore, non contact inspection methods have been developed. As a non-contact inspection method, we propose a system consisting of a high-power directional sound source and a scanning laser doppler vibrometer (SLDV). In this method, an air-borne sound wave is used for the excitation of a concrete wall, and then the vibration velocities on the concrete wall are measured two-dimensionally by the SLDV. From the vibration velocity, defective parts can be detected. In this paper, we describe two types of experiment on the feasibility of our proposed method. In these experiments, concrete wall test pieces, which have artificial defects, are used. From the experimental results, we confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed method as a non contact inspection method for concrete structures. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
