s4 repeating S2 and S3 to obtain repeatability precision, intermediate precision and reproducibility precision of the detection value.
In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the following describes the above technical solutions of the present invention in detail by a specific usage manner.
The shape of the sample is cuboid, the total size is 320mm (length) ×320mm (width) ×68mm (thickness), the color is black, and meanwhile, the top of the sample is marked with a test surface and a cross coordinate line for testing in a laser painting mode; the four sides of the sample are embedded and sealed with side sealing plates 4 with the thickness of 10mm, and the sample mainly comprises the following parts: the base material 3 and the reinforcing steel bar are formed, and the reinforcing steel bar comprises a main reinforcing steel bar 1 and a stirrup 2.
The base material 3 is made of a high molecular polyethylene material, and a carbon black pigment is added. Two solid round steel bars with the diameter of 20mm are arranged in the base material 3 to serve as main bars 1, and two solid round steel bars with the diameter of 18mm serve as stirrups 2. The distance between the longitudinal axes of the two main reinforcements 1 is 100mm, the distance between the longitudinal axes of the two stirrups 2 is 210mm, and the two longitudinal axes are distributed according with the actual engineering situation. The main reinforcement 1 and the stirrup 2 in the sample are placed by drilling holes on the base material by a precision machine tool and then mechanically inserted, and the characteristic value (thickness of the main reinforcement protective layer) of the sample is reliable because the reinforcing steel bars are built in the mode.
The thickness values of the protective layers of the two main ribs in the sample are all visible conditions of the solid beam member in the construction engineering and meet the requirement of the table E.0.4 in the standard GB 50204-2015 of the inspection and acceptance of the construction quality of the concrete structure engineering on the allowable deviation of the thickness of the protective layer of the longitudinal stressed reinforcing steel bar of the structural entity and the minimum design requirement of the table 8.2.1 in the specification GB 50010-2010 of the design of the concrete structure on the thickness of the protective layer of the beam member.
The samples according to the invention have the following advantages: 1) The application range is wide, and the coordination with detection equipment is strong. The geometric dimension of the sample testing surface is suitable for most of domestic reinforcement protection layer thickness detection equipment (such as a reinforcement detector); after the carbon black pigment is added to the sample substrate 3, electromagnetic interference cannot be generated on the reinforcement protection layer thickness detection equipment.
2) The sample has high reliability and is convenient to transport and carry. The sample substrate 3 is made of high-molecular polyethylene material, has higher hardness, wear-resistant surface and lighter weight compared with concrete, so that the sample reliability is improved, and the sample substrate is convenient to transport and carry.
3) The sample construction characteristics are certain representative, and the sample characteristic value meets the requirements of relevant standards. The two main reinforcements 1 and the two stirrups 2 are arranged in the sample, and the distribution of the main reinforcements 1 and the stirrups 2 accords with the actual engineering condition. And the characteristic values (thickness of the main reinforcement protection layer) of the samples are all visible conditions of the solid beam member in the construction engineering and meet the requirement of the table E.0.4 in the standard GB 50204-2015 of the acceptance Specification of the construction quality of the concrete structure engineering on the allowable deviation of the thickness of the longitudinal stress reinforcement protection layer of the structural entity and the minimum design requirement of the table 8.2.1 in the specification GB 50010-2010 of the design of the concrete structure on the thickness of the protection layer of the beam member.
4) The sample uses are various, and different requirements of quality control of the inspection and detection mechanism can be met. In general, quality control samples for testing are directed to the result data only. But the sample can also be used for evaluating whether the position of the built-in main reinforcement 1 and the stirrup 2 is correct or not by the inspector. The judgment is a precondition for ensuring the accuracy of the thickness detection result data of the reinforcing steel bar protection layer of the solid beam member. The general method flow of the thickness detection of the reinforcing steel bar protection layer of the solid beam member is to judge the positions of the main reinforcements and stirrups in the solid beam member by moving the reinforcing steel bar detector on the surface of the solid beam member, and test the minimum linear distance from the main reinforcements to the surface of the structural solid. The sample simulates the common concrete solid beam member in construction engineering from three aspects of internal reinforcement arrangement condition, main reinforcement protection layer thickness, no electromagnetic interference of base material, and the sample characteristic value (main reinforcement protection layer thickness) is reliable because the reinforcement is built in a precise machine tool processing mode, so that the reinforcement protection layer thickness detection equipment can test the sample characteristic value under the condition of repeatability, under the condition of some changes in a long time and under the condition of reproducibility, thereby evaluating the repeatability precision, the middle precision and the reproducibility precision of the reinforcement protection layer thickness detection result of the solid beam member. And, by using the internal steel bar arrangement condition diagram and the reference value of the thickness of the main reinforcement protective layer given in the sample, laboratory detection personnel in the construction field can also evaluate whether the position judgment of the built-in main reinforcement 1 and the stirrup 2 is correct, and the consistency degree (accuracy) between the detection result of the thickness of the beam member steel bar protective layer and the reference value is also evaluated.
In the beginning of 2017, the national institutional approval supervision and administration (CNCA) was entrusted with the use of the sample, and the 283-family inspection and detection institutions in the whole country were used to detect the thickness of the reinforcing bar protection layer of the solid beam member, and the accuracy of the detection results of the participating institutions was evaluated by the characteristic value of the sample. The project is successfully accepted by the expert conference of the CNCA organization on the 11 th and 10 th 2017, and the acceptance content comprises whether the samples are representative or not and whether the characteristic values of the samples prepared in batches are uniform and stable or not.
In summary, by means of the technical scheme provided by the invention, the method can be used for evaluating the precision and accuracy of the reinforcement protection layer thickness detection equipment such as a reinforcement detector, and the problem that the repeatability precision, the intermediate precision, the reproducibility precision and the accuracy of the reinforcement protection layer thickness detection result are difficult to evaluate effectively is solved.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
