Evaluation of a Concrete Slab Track with Debonding at the Interface between Track Concrete Layer and Hydraulically Stabilized Base Course Using Multi-Channel Impact-Echo Testing

Multi-channel Impact-echo (IE) testing was used to evaluate debonding defects at the interface between track concrete layer, TCL, and hydraulically stabilized base course, HSB, in a real scale mockup model of concrete slab tracks for Korea high-speed railway (KHSR) system. The mockup model includes...
