Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (USPV) test has gained considerable popularity all over the world.Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete is based on the pulse velocity method to provide information on the uniformity of concrete, cavities, cracks and defects. The pulse velocity in a material depends on its density and its elastic properties which in turn are related to the quality and the compressive strength of the concrete. It is therefore possible to obtain information about the properties of components by sonic investigations. The investigation reported here is to present study of calibration graphs for Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Equipment, which is ultra sonic pulse velocity test and to study the quality of the concrete in existing structures. These ultra sonic pulse velocity tests were then used to test the quality of the concrete of the various structural elements (columns and beams) of single storied newly under constructed office building. The use of this method produces results that lie close to the true values when compared with other methods. A correlation between ultra sonic pulse velocity test and strength of concrete structure is established, which can be used for strength estimation of concrete structures. The method can be extended to test existing structures by taking direct measurements on concrete elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
