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 ...

The accuracy of the testing process is just as important, as it directly effects the quality of the concrete structure. The most common method for monitoring the strength of in-situ concrete is ...

Once concrete has hardened, it is important to determine whether the final structure is suitable for its designated use. To do this, non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are ideal as they limit or ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have used the UK's largest shaking table to mimic conditions of a medium-magnitude ...

Experimental concrete that patches up cracks by itself is to undergo outdoor testing. The concrete contains limestone-producing bacteria, which are activated by corrosive rainwater working its way ...
