Prediction of Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Modulus of Elasticity for Some Sedimentary Rocks in Kurdistan Region- Iraq using Schmidt Hammer. [PDF]
Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s Modulus (E) used in most of engineering projects in rock mechanics, are the most important mechanical parameters of rocks.

Compressive Strength Prediction Model of High Strength Concrete by Destructive and Nondestructive Technique [PDF]
Concrete’s compressive strength can be tested in a laboratory before construction begins. Since concrete is a natural material and cannot be destroyed, it is not possible to determine its compressive strength through destructive testing.

Comparatively Study of Non-Destructive test with different methods in various curing days [PDF]
In non-destructive testing, materials, components, or assemblies are inspected, tested, or evaluated without being destroyed. In nondestructive testing, materials, components, and assemblies are evaluated for quality and integrity without damaging them ...

Hammer Time: Using the Schmidt Hammer to Improve the Rockfall Activity Index (RAI) Forecasting Accuracy [PDF]
The Schmidt hammer is a widely-used and inexpensive instrument used to estimate rock strength either in the lab or in the field. Our research team tested the accuracy and repeatability of the Schmidt hammer to estimate rock strength for six Alaskan rock ...
