The purpose of the project is to determine the material properties of in-situ concrete using ultrasonic testing methods. Specifically, an attempt is made to correlate the pulse velocity of sound waves in concrete with its ultimate compressive strength. A variety of aggregate types native to Ohio are tested. Concrete strength is varied by control of both the water-cement ratio and the cement-aggregate ratio. The effect of the presence of reinforcing bars on the variation of pulse velocity is considered.
