Predicting the Compressive Strength of Concrete By Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity [PDF]
Abstract The key resolution of non-destructive methods applied to concrete structures is to offer a suitable estimate of the quality of the material. One of the modern methods used in the test of concrete strength is the non-destructive testing applying the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV).

Methodology for Determining the Correct Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity in Concrete
Quite often, concrete strength parameters must be determined in the shortest possible time. Due to the strong correlation between concrete’s mechanical and acoustic properties, ultrasonic devices can be used for this purpose. However, the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) is influenced by a variety of factors, including the curing and exploitation ...
