ABSTRACT:
The surface of a cement intimate mixture filled portion in a building is tapped by a hammer, and a tapping sound thus generated is received by a micropone and converted to an electrical signal. The electrical signal representing the attenuation characteristic, which is different depending on the presence or absence of a defective unfilled portion in the cement filled portion, is sampled to obtain a maximum peak value and/or an integrated value. The maximum peak value and/or the integrated value is compared with a reference value to decide the presence or absence of a defect in the cement filled portion.
