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 ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

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, ...

Extensive laboratory testing and data analyses reveal that the oil and gas industry can reliably estimate foamed-cement sample compressive strength, if the design engineer knows the compressive ...

Not all damage to a load-bearing structure is immediately apparent. So how do civil engineers find out that a bridge or a large hall is no longer safe? Many clues form a picture. Concrete structures ...

Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic. Concrete must ...

The cement industry is the foundation of the construction sector. As a fundamental ingredient in concrete, cement enables the development of critical infrastructure: bridges, roads, buildings, and ...
