Theoretical Interpretation of Impulse Response Tests of Embedded Concrete Structures

Application of X-ray microtomography to quality assessment of fibre cement boards

“…Ottosen et al [14], Garbacz [15] and Sansalone [16] proposed to use the nondestructive impact-echo method for this purpose. They successfully applied the impact-echo method to small area floors.…”

Automated control of cellulose fibre cement boards with a non-contact ultrasound scanner

“…Davis [6] and Hertlein and Davis [7] recommended the state-of-the-art impulse response method in searching for delamination in concrete floors. Ottosen et al [8], Garbacz [5] and Sansalone [9] proposed to use the nondestructive impact-echo method for this purpose. They successfully applied the impact-echo method to small area floors.…”

ANN modeling of pull-off adhesion of concrete layers

“…It appears from [44][45][46][47] that in the impulse response method the most useful are such parameters as average mobility N av and stiffness K d .…”
