Deterioration due to corrosion is a key issue affecting the durability, safety, and sustainability
of buildings and structures. Most cities are located in coastal areas and many reinforced …

Non-destructive testing (NDT) has a vital role in finding surface hardness of concrete
members. B-Proceq curve can calculate the concrete strength by providing statistical …

Concrete compressive strength plays an important role in determining the mechanical
properties of concrete. The determination of concrete compressive strength requires lengthy …

In this paper, we introduce a novel hybrid model for predicting the compressive strength of
concrete using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Rebound Number (RN). First, we collect …

Residual mechanical strength is a necessary parameter in any diagnosis of recovering
structures after fire. Even though concrete is a material traditionally resistant to high …

The quality monitoring technique for Cement stabilised earth blocks (CSEBs) is so
challenging that it is often neglected. This study has investigated the possibility of using …

Coring or destructive testing is typically the default choice for the evaluation of concrete
compressive strength in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, it can be impractical …

Estimation of in-situ concrete compressive strength in existing structures is considered as a
crucial step in assessing structural capacity. Destructive testing (DT) by coring in conjunction …

Compressive strength is a critical indicator of concrete quality for ensuring the safety of
existing concrete structures. As an alternative to existing nondestructive testing methods …

The setting time of concrete needs to be detected to ensure the construction quality control.
This research provides a new non-contact, nondestructive remote sensing detection method …
