IN-PLACE METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

The state of the art in the use of methods for determining the in-place compressive strength of concrete is reported. The methods covered include the rebound hammer, probe penetraion, pullout, ultrasonic pulse velocity, maturity, and cast-in-place cylinder. The underlying principles and inherent limitations of each method are discussed. Repeatability of test results is reviewed, and recommendations are given for developing the correlation relationship for each test method. Recommendations are given for the number of tests, and statistical techniques for interpretation of test results are described.
