Abstract

Highlights: Practical engineering applications of SCCSs and their typical defects are reviewed. Research progress of stress wave-based NDT techniques for SCCS is summarized in depth. Wave propagation analysis using multiscale methodology is comparatively discussed. Multi-physics coupling analysis on PZT-based stress wave method is synthetically reviewed. Outlooks and prospects of contact and noncontact NDT on SCCSs are forecasted. Abstract: In order to detect interfacial imperfections for steel–concrete composite structures (SCCSs), various advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have been proposed in recent years. Wave-based NDT is known for their unique advantages, including precise detection mechanisms, uncomplicated acquisition system and reliable measurements, and have been extensively applied in NDT of SCCSs. This manuscript is a comprehensive review covering literature that describes research in damage detection for SCCSs. The review includes a detailed analysis of the state-of-the-art research in the experimentation, multiscale simulation and multi-physics coupling analysis of wave method-based NDT techniques for SCCS. First, the practical application of SCCSs and defects typically observed in SCCSs are reviewed. Wave propagation analysis using multiscale models established with the random aggregate method is compared against macro-level numerical simulation results. Existing multi-physics coupling analysis of piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-based stress wave methods are classified and summarized. This area of research is forecasted to enhance the effectiveness and the multi-functionality of future wave method-based NDT techniques for SCCSs. This review offers guidance and references to numerical investigation on detection mechanism behind stress wave-based monitoring and test design of wave-based NDT experiments.
