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.

An Investigation On Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concretes
Because of the easy applying and not costing too much, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) is one of the most used non-destructive techniques to determine concrete characteristics along with impact-echo, Schmidt rebound hammer (SRH) and pulse-echo. This article investigates the relationship between UPV and compressive strength of hybrid fiber reinforced ...

Evaluating Asphalt Concrete Properties by the Implementation of Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
In past years, structural pavement solution has been combined with destructive testing; these destructive methods are being replaced by non-destructive testing methods (NDT).

Effect of the pulse trajectory on ultrasonic fluid velocity measurement [PDF]
In a general situation a non-uniform velocity field gives rise to a shift of the otherwise straight acoustic pulse trajectory between the transmitter and receiver transducers of a sonic anemometer. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of trajectory shifts on the velocity as measured by the sonic anemometer.

Mathematical model for predicting the ultrasonic pulse velocity of concrete
AbstractThis paper proposes a mathematical model approach to predict the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) of concrete. This paper presents the formulation, calibration, evaluation, and validation of the proposed UPV model. An experimental program was developed to calibrate and evaluate the proposed model.

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 ...

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
