Predicting the Compressive Strength of Concrete By Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
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).

An Ultrasonic Sensor for Distance Measurement in Automotive Applications [PDF]
This paper describes an ultrasonic sensor that is able to measure the distance from the ground of selected points of a motor vehicle. The sensor is based on the measurement of the time of flight of an ultrasonic pulse, which is reflected by the ground. A

Compressive Strength and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of Concrete with Metakaolin [PDF]
The intention of the present study is to assess the possibility of using Metakaolin as a partial replacement of Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) in the concrete to improve its workability and compressive strength. It also explores the study on the connection between ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) on different replacement percentage of mineral ...

Frost influence on the ultrasonic pulse velocity in concrete at early phases of hydration process
Quite often concrete strength parameters have to be determined at an early age. Due to the strong correlation existing between the mechanical and acoustic properties of concrete, ultrasonic devices can be used for this purpose.

Investigation of Concrete Segregation by Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
Segregation is the separation of the components of fresh concrete or mortar, which can be caused by bad proportioning, insufficient mixing or excessive vibration. There are several tests which can be measured on hardened concrete or at the beginning of hardening. These are generally based on the percentage of the Fine aggregates between the top and the
