Applying Artificial Intelligence to Improve On-Site Non-Destructive Concrete Compressive Strength Tests

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
In the construction industry, non–destructive testing (NDT) methods are often used in the field to inspect the compressive strength of concrete. NDT methods do not cause damage to the existing structure and are relatively economical.

Triaxial compression testing of multicomponent geomaterials from quartz-poor (syenitic) systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper focuses on mafic microgranular enclaves enclosed in quartz-poor igneous rocks and their effect on strength properties of the rock massif. The study examines host rock–enclave multicomponent geomaterials from enclave-bearing syenitic rocks from

Prediction of Geopolymer Concrete Compressive Strength Utilizing Artificial Neural Network and Nondestructive Testing

open access: yesCivil and Environmental Engineering, 2022
A promising substitute for regular concrete is geopolymer concrete. Engineering mechanical parameters of geopolymer concrete, including compressive strength, are frequently measured in the laboratory or in-situ via experimental destructive tests, which ...

Experimental characterization and modelling of a cavitating centrifugal pump operating in fast start-up conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The start-up of rocket engine turbopumps is generally performed only in a few seconds. It implies that these pumps reach their nominal operating conditions after only a few rotations.

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 ...
