Non-Destructive Tests of Concrete in Structures
The state-of-the-art report is based on a brief critical literature review of nondestructive test methods for determining the in-place strength of concrete. The report describes test methods and techniques, and lists their limitations. The methods discussed are surface hardness methods, penetration resistance methods, pullout, pulloff and breakoff methods, pulse velocity techniques, and the combined methods approach. To date no single nondestructive evaluation method is entirely satisfactory for predicting the quality and strength of concrete in situ. A combination of methods that respond to different factors may give the needed information. It is the recommendation of the report that a combination of pullout techniques and the pulse velocity method might provide an acceptable method for determining both the relative and absolute quality of concrete in a structure.
