Wednesday 28 March 1:00-5:00 pm Introduction to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

James Cook, MALA, USA Inc.; D.Welch, Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
The attendee will see how Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can be used for several applications and how it is an emerging technology in the NDT world. The attendee will learn how GPR can be used in place of or in conjunction with Concrete Radiography and ultrasonic testing systems (UT) to produce confident results. And, the attendee will be taught how GPR may not work as well as other NDT technologies for certain applications. The main goal for this educational experience is to teach the attendee the limitations and advantages of GPR. By the attendee learning the limitations and advantages he/she will be able to identify when to use GPR and when not to use GPR. All GPR users need to learn how to determine GPR suitability and to use the right tool for the right job. This will help marginalize liability issues and improve quality of the work executed by the NDT firm. Who Should Attend: The course is intended for all NDT professionals who are interested in GPR and how it can be integrated into a NDT business. The course is helpful especially to NDT professionals who may have encountered a need for locating rebar, tension cables, electrical conduits, and other objects inside concrete floors, walls or ceilings. Attendees will learn several GPR applications and techniques that can save time and money when it comes to locating embedded objects in concrete structures or locating utilities under the ground.

Probability of Detection Tutorial

Room: Magnolia

(see page 8 for time and date)

Presenters:
William Meeker, Iowa State University and Floyd Spencer, Sandia National Laboratories
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the basics of probability of detection methods, discover how reliability analysis tools have developed to address the ever-changing data acquisition approaches and new methods being used by the NDE community, and see how these tools are applied first-hand to inspection examples. POD Tutorial Part I Dealing with Hit/Miss Data Probability of detection (POD) is an important engineering metric for the inspection community. Various aspects of the POD calculation may be used to make choices between inspections for implementation, to qualify an inspection method, inspection system or inspector, or to support life management calculations. The origins of POD studies go back to the use of the 29 out of 29 simple approach which was soon replaced with hit-miss analysis. The hit/miss method is often used in cases where quantitative measurement of the signal response is not feasible, such as with penetrant testing or magnetic particle testing. The data is binary in nature, either the flaw is detected (hit or 1) or missed (0). The first presentation will cover basic definitions used by the POD and reliability communities, review the hit/miss analysis method, and the logistics model typically used in this analysis method. A discussion of maximum likelihood methods will be included. POD Tutorial Part II Review of Ahat vs A Data Strategies In most modern inspection methods, it is possible to measure the signal response for a given flaw which provides considerable leverage in analysis of POD. In the ahat vs. a analysis method, the signal response is denoted by ahat and some relevant characteristic of the flaw, typically . length, depth or area, is denoted by a This analysis approach has been in active use since the 1980s and is well-documented in MIL-HNBK 1823. The use of regression models will be reviewed including explanations of left (responses below the noise floor) and right (saturated responses) censoring.

POD Tutorial Part III Advanced Data Analysis Methods for POD In many instances the use of POD methods is straightforward and relatively easy to implement. However, complications often arise when dealing with real data, particularly when the data is from field finds. Recent results from a field finds example will be presented along with a series of simulations that show the importance of the role misses play in POD analysis. Discussion will include the influence of left and right censoring and the use of truncation. In addition, recent experience with advanced topics in empirical POD will be discussed including bivariate regression models, errors in flaw sizing, and the impact of multiple sources of variability in NDE inspection. POD Tutorial Part IV Practical Considerations in Empirical POD Study Design It is often desired to validate the application of an NDE technique to a new inspection process. The application of a new NDE inspection process will include the development of written procedures and may also include developing a training process. Validation of such a process needs to address these elements in order to provide a basis for improvement. The same can be said for understanding and characterizing an existing inspection process. Addressing such issues and other specific concerns requires experimental design concepts to be applied in the gathering of data. These practical considerations will be discussed through the presentation of examples. POD Tutorial Part V Summary of POD Study Results Results of past POD/validation studies that included elements beyond that of estimating a POD curve will be discussed. The common thread in the several studies is that elements of specific concern were designed into the data gathering that enables the characterization of the NDE process beyond a single POD curve summary.
