Abstract-In the construction industry, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are gaining more popularity for their ability to examine the in-situ component properties without damaging the structure. One of the most common NDTs for measuring the concrete compressive strength on site is the Rebound Hammer Test. Using the rebound value obtained from the test hammer, the concrete compressive strength can be estimated using the conversion chart provided by the instrument manufacturer.
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.
