ABSTRACT:
A method of inspecting the reinforcing members in prestressed concrete beams by generating a magnetic field close to the beam and measuring the field by means of a Hall effect sensor located between the pole pieces of the magnet. A partial or total break in a reinforcing member produces an anomaly in the magnetic field, which in turn registers as a voltage "spike" in the output of the Hall effect sensor. The method further includes a method for enhancing the data by substantially reducing or eliminating the effects of transverse reinforcing steel or support members located at the site of a break in the prestressed member.
