Compressive strength assessment of recycled aggregate concrete using Schmidt rebound hammer and core testing [PDF]
Construction and Building Materials, 2019 Abstract The main objective of this study was to estimate the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by means of Schmidt rebound hammer and core testing. The use of recycled aggregate in concrete has been shown to lead to a decrease in the construction cost and it can reduce the burden on the environment by saving natural ...

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 ...

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2023 A number of destructive and non-destructive tests were conducted on rock samples collected from various zones in northern Iraq. So far, for Iraqi rocks, few studies have correlated Schmidt hammer rebound (R) with both unconfined compressive strength (UCS)
