... 315 a p p e N D I x U Introduction A survey of several concrete slabs constructed by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) was carried out with a portable seismic property analyzer (PSPA)

... 317 the bottom of the deck and a flexural mode dominates the frequency response. In this case, Equation U.1 is not applicable to measure the depth of delamination because it is influenced by several factors.
From page 318...
... 318 test results The USW and IE results from different concrete and shotcrete slabs are presented and compared in this section. A detailed description of the data reduction process was provided in a companion report related to testing in actual tunnels in Colorado and Virginia (see Appendix P)

... 320 specimens, reflections from the vertical boundaries are apparent in the later portions of the signals. The PSPA software contains appropriate filters to minimize the effect of these reflections as long as the PSPA is located an adequate distance from the boundary.
