In situ assessment of the stone conservation state by its water absorbing behaviour : a hands-on methodology [PDF]
, 2016 This paper describes the use of the water absorbing behaviour (WAB) for assessment of the conservation state of stone in situ. A test methodology, consisting of a combination of techniques for in situ measurement of the WAB, was applied in a case study ...

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