Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...

A shortage of skilled labor continues to be the dominate issue in the construction industry, and rightfully so. However, delays in construction schedules have always been a thorn in the side of ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced concrete improves mechanical properties and durability, making it ideal for protecting underground ...

This study presents a high-performance concrete blend with palm ash and jute fiber, achieving a 20% reduction in carbon ...
