Calibration and Reliability of the Rebound (Schmidt) Hammer Test [PDF]
Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2013 One of the most widely spread techniques to estimate the compressive strength of concrete is the rebound hammer test, also known as Schmidt Hammer test. In spite of a large number of scientific works trying to calibrate the test, to identify the parameters affecting its results and to estimate its reliability, the original Schmidt curve is still ...

Repeatability of concrete rebound hardness using comprehensive statistical analysis [PDF]
Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2023 The reliability of the result significantly affects the use of the Coefficient of Variation (within the test variation), which reflects the variability of the concrete properties rather than the standard deviation.

Concrete density estimation by rebound hammer method [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016 Concrete is the most common and cheap material for radiation shielding. Compressive strength is the main parameter checked for determining concrete quality. However, for shielding purposes density is the parameter that needs to be considered. X- and -gamma radiations are effectively absorbed by a material with high atomic number and high density such ...
