Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

Concrete builds the modern world but carries a heavy carbon cost. Discover the engineering advantages, material innovations, and decarbonization efforts defining its future.

Maturity and compressive strength of concrete is tested through both destructive and non-destructive methods. Destructive test involve damaging some of an element or the structure. Some would like to ...

Researchers enhance concrete durability by integrating nano-silica and sisal fibers, improving strength and crack resistance ...

Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant workers have been testing and placing self-consolidating concrete, or SCC, that will be used in the walls of the Explosive Containment Room of the ...
