Pre-stack migration imaging (PMI) method,which is used in geophysical exploration by the performance of single side detection and visually display,can be used to identify the location,orientation,and severity of damages in concrete structure.In particular,this letter focuses on the experimental study by using a finite number of sensors for further practical applications.A concrete structure with a surface-mounted linear PZT transducers array is illustrated.Three types of damages,horizontal,dipping and V-shaped crack damage,have been studied.A pre-stack reverse time migration technique is used to back-propagate the scattering waves and to image damages in concrete structure.The migration results from the scattering waves of an artificial damage are presented.It is shown that the existence of the damage in concrete structure is correctly revealed through migration process.
