Applying Support Vector Machines in Rebound Hammer Test
Advanced Materials Research, 2013There are several nondestructive testing techniques available to test the compressive strength of the concrete and the Rebound Hammer Test is among one of the fast and economical methods. Nevertheless, it is found that the prediction results from Rebound Hammer Test are not satisfying (over 20% mean absolute percentage error).

Evaluation of Schmidt Hammer Rebound Hardness Test Holders
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1984Abstract An evaluation is made of three different holders for Schmidt hammer tests on rock core in the laboratory, including steel angle, V-notch, and semicircular groove holders. The differences are small, but it is shown that the V-notch holder gives consistently higher rebound hardness values.

Testing of concrete by rebound method: Leeb versus Schmidt hammers
Materials and Structures, 2018Hardness is considered as an important property of concrete; it can be used to estimate compressive strength of concrete in situ. The classic Schmidt rebound hammer is the most popular nondestructive method to measure concrete surface hardness, while the Leeb rebound hammer has been extensively studied in geological and metallographic fields over ...

Evaluation of rubbercrete based on ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound hammer tests
Construction and Building Materials, 2011Abstract Several research works have been carried out to study the fresh and hardened properties of concrete containing crumb rubber (rubbercrete) as a replacement of fine aggregate. The outcomes of these studies have highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of rubbercrete compared with conventional concrete mixtures.

Advancing the Rebound Hammer Method: A New Concrete Test Hammer
2011The concrete test hammer patented by Proceq’s Ernst O. Schmidt at the beginning of the 1950’s is without a doubt the most widely used NDT instrument worldwide for rapid assessment of the condition of a concrete structure. Despite this fact, the validity of the method remains a hotly debated topic amongst experts in the NDT field. This is largely due to

Strength Evaluation of In-Situ Concrete by Rebound Hammer and Core Testing
Cement, Concrete, and Aggregates, 1994Abstract This paper describes the results of an extensive field investigation where the quality of in-place concrete flatwork was evaluated. Nondestructive testing (NDT) was carried out using ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound hammer techniques to establish a correlation with compressive strengths of core tests.
