Robust Analysis of Various Measurement Uncertainty Parameters in Rebound Hammer Test

open access: yesIndian Journal Of Science And Technology, 2023
Abstract Objective: The major objective of the proposed work is to determine the concrete’s expected compressive strength by evaluating the consistency of concrete using Rebound Hammer Test. Further, the determination of the quality of one component of the concrete relates to the quality of another component based on the concrete meeting criteria ...

Effects of hybrid polyethylene terephthalate fibre and fly ash on mechanical properties of concrete

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2022
Cracked concrete is a problem due to several factors such as poor maintenance, insufficient reinforcement or steel corrosion leading to crack propagation. There is a need to increase the load-bearing capacity of concrete and increase its life span.

Comparison of the inherent variability in rebound hammer tests performed with different testing instruments

open access: yesEpitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials, 2013
The rebound hammer test of concrete can provide an alternative to drilled core tests for estimating the in-situ compressive strength of concrete. The variability of concrete strength is recognised during the strength assessment and the design strength of concrete is specified as its characteristic compressive strength by taking the variability of the ...

Studies on the spatial variability of rebound hammer test results recorded at in-situ testing

open access: yesEpitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials, 2013
Variability of the in-situ rebound hammer tests is composed of the inherent variability of the measuring method and the spatial variability of the concrete performance properties. In-situ, Schmidt rebound hammer tests were performed at the bottom surface of a concrete slab, with dimensions of 25.0 m × 7.5 m.
