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 ...
Some basic NDT techniques utilized to assess concrete structures include:Once concrete has hardened, it is important to determine whether the final structure is suitable for its designated use. To do ...
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, ...
Large concrete structures need to be regularly tested for defects that may compromise their stability. While acoustic tests performed by certified inspectors are usually the inspection method of ...
This innovative IoT-ANN framework allows for non-destructive concrete strength assessment, improving accuracy and ...
Ongoing research into limiting concrete form face surface defects with controlled frequency vibrators (CFVs) has shown great promise. Field investigations into limiting high frequency vibration to ...
