Joint inversion of electromagnetic measurements for the determination of water saturation profiles in concrete structures

Résumé

Water saturation profiles in concrete are essential to assess its durability and can be determined using non-destructive techniques, especially the electric and the capacitive methods. In this paper, we propose a new inversion scheme where both resistivity and permittivity measurements are inverted jointly to retrieve the saturation profile. The finite element method is used to model the measurements in 3D, the concrete having a saturation profile with depth, represented by a continuous model taking the form of a Weibull curve with four parameters. A non-linear least-squares optimization based on the Levenberg-Marquardt scheme is developed for the inversion of measurements. Results show that information gathered from both measurements enriches the reconstructed profile, leading to a more reliable estimation of saturation profiles. We believe that the joint inversion method herein developed could lead to the study of more complex phenomena, such as the coupled water-chloride ingress.
