The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) says it is now fully capable of testing the compressive strength of locally manufactured concrete hollow blocks while announcing that plans are being ...

Maturity and compressive strength of concrete is tested through both destructive and non-destructive methods. Destructive test involve damaging some of an element or the structure. Some would like to ...

Not all damage to a load-bearing structure is immediately apparent. So how do civil engineers find out that a bridge or a large hall is no longer safe? Many clues form a picture. Concrete structures ...
