Comparative Study of Rebound Hammer, Nitto Hammer, and Pullout Tests to Estimate Concrete In-Place Strength by Using Random Sampling Analysis

open access: yes, 2017
The use of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques to estimate concrete in-place strength has been broadly studied, with proof of their usefulness in complementing destructive testing (DT). However, the use of DT techniques still dominates.

Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Antarctic Peninsula Rocks: Schmidt Hammer Rebound Test

open access: yesSains Malaysiana, 2017
The uniaxial compressive strength test is a destructive and time consuming test. A number of non-destructive methods using portable testing equipment are more applicable and easier to conduct. This paper presents the results of a systematic approach to determine the uniaxial compressive strength of rock material using the Schmidt hammer rebound test. A
