Abstract :
Measurements of the speed of passing ultrasonic waves are used to determine the quality and strength of materials. Velocity of ultrasonic waves of solids depends on the density and elasticity characteristics. The quality of material depends on the firmness and elasticity of the, so measurement of the speed of passing waves can be used to determine the quality of and elastic properties. According to the application of cement based grout to bridge the gap between the members and the concrete foundation and the ability to absorb and transmit static and dynamic loads by grout into the foundation, structural engineers need to grout with high quality, strength and durability that has a strong internal structure and with minimal pores and cavities inside. Ultrasound waves passing speed test is done to check these features and its results are presented based on dynamic modulus of elasticity. The results show that the modified grout mix with nano-silica, silica fume, and dynamic modulus of elasticity increased so that by replacing 1% nano-silica powder and 20% micro silica powder in grout combination with cement, dynamic modulus of elasticity increased to 64%.
