Combined methods of determining control measures of concrete quality

Study of constructive solutions for the protection of brick masonry walls against explosive charges

“…Considerable work has been conducted to develop non-destructive methods (NDTs), due to its advantages. NDTs can provide reproducible measures of material quality in a specimen (or even a structure) without causing an extra damage to the element or the structure from which it is taken (Malhotra & Carino, 2010), in a very short period of time while maintaining moderate cost (Leshchinsky, 1991). Unfortunately, most of the NDTs are designed for concrete.…”
