Case Study
“Ansys HFSS software has proven to be a valuable tool in the development of a novel ground-penetration radar inspection methodology for reinforced aerated autoclaved concrete (RAAC) to survey the challenging end-bearing regions of panels as part of our large, publicly funded IUK RAAC IMPACT Program at the MTC. “

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is often used to survey reinforced concrete beams, but the region supported by a load-bearing wall often cannot be accessed without resorting to destructive methods. Assessing this load-bearing length and identifying rebar locations without causing damage to the plank is crucial. The challenge was set to find a method of surveying this hidden region using GPR. The funding for this work was provided by Innovate U.K. (Project 161047 2023/24 Pulse, MTC RAAC Program).
A reliable NDT approach for surveying reinforced aerated autoclaved concrete (RAAC) was required. The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) planned to apply an angled GPR sensor to examine if there was a way to nondestructively survey this hidden load-bearing region. However, the signals gained proved difficult to interpret. Ansys HFSS high-frequency electromagnetic simulation software was used to simulate angled-beam GPR scans, systematically removing specific structural features to identify all the signals present to determine the optimal wedge design and configuration to support successful scan interpretation.
