This study proposes a no-contact and efficient method for measuring the roughness of concrete fracture surfaces using fringe-projection technology. A simple phase-correction method is presented to improve measurement efficiency and accuracy. Experimental results show that the method meets the requirements for concrete fracture-surface measurement and is effective for detecting concrete fracture-surface features.
The evaluation of concrete surface roughness is crucial in the field of civil engineering. The purpose of this study is to propose a no-contact and efficient method for the measurement of the roughness of concrete fracture surfaces based on fringe-projection technology. A simple phase-correction method using one additional strip image is presented for the phase unwrapping to improve the measurement efficiency and accuracy. The experimental results indicate that the measuring error for plane height is less than 0.1mm, and the relative accuracy for measuring a cylindrical object is about 0.1%, meeting the requirements for concrete fracture-surface measurement. On this basis, three-dimensional reconstructions were carried out on various concrete fracture surfaces to evaluate the roughness. The results reveal that the surface roughness (R) and fractal dimension (D) decrease as the concrete strength increases or the water-to-cement ratio decreases, consistent with previous studies. In addition, compared with the surface roughness, the fractal dimension is more sensitive to the change in concrete surface shape. The proposed method is effective for detecting concrete fracture-surface features.
