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

Set-up effects of piles in sand tested in the centrifuge [PDF]
The bearing capacity of piles increases over time. Research has shown that this is caused by an increase in shaft friction combined with a constant or only slightly increasing base capacity.

The Behavior of Non-Destructive Test for Different Grade of Concrete [PDF]
Rebound hammer are prefer as non-destructive testing methods; where compression test as destructive test. A general series of tests for rebound hammer and destructive test was carried out at heavy concrete laboratory to obtain the desire result. A set of

Damage assessment of concrete structures exposed to fire [PDF]
During a fire, concrete structures behave in most cases very well. It could therefore be of economic interest to repair the damaged structures, as costs for demolition and rebuilding can be avoided and the building can be reused faster.

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

A new technique for non-destructive field measurement of rock-surface strength: an application of the Equotip hardness tester to weathering studies [PDF]
Tafone-like depressions have developed on the Aoshima sandstone blocks used for a masonry bridge pier in the coastal spray zone. A thin layer of partial granular disintegration was found on the surface in depressions.
