Concrete is a basic material used for the great amount of engineering projects. The concrete
performance is influenced by some building variables, such as: the water/cement ratio, the …

Adoption of periodic or continuous monitoring strategies to assess condition state of
infrastructure elements is a vital part of service life management (SLM). NDT methods are …

Concrete structures are normally subject to various aggressive actions derived from the
loads or the environmental agents, which make the concrete condition to change over time …

The increase in usage of composite structures has raised the necessity for evaluating in-
service performance. Due to complexity in design, high operational loads, and longer …

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) techniques are useful tools for analyzing reinforced concrete
structures. The use of Ultrassonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) measurements enables the …

Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer (RH) tests are often used for
assessing the quality of concrete and estimation of its compressive strength. Several …

By definition, structural health monitoring (SHM) is a method that analyzes the health of a
structure by evaluating it for any damage, and also it provides a short-or long-term solution …

Standard cubes and cylinder tests are generally performed to determine compressive
strength of concrete according to standard codes. In the tests performed on various samples …

Concrete properties can vary considerably, depending on the nature and proportions of its
constituents, the construction methods applied to create it, and the loading and …
