Abstract:Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) is a non-destructive measurement technique with which the quality of any concrete element can be evaluated. It provides information on concrete health and for assessing the need for repair in a straightforward manner. In this paper, the relationship is studied between UPV readings and the mechanical behavior of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing coarse, fine, and/or powdery RA. To do so, correlations and simple- and multiple-regression relationships between compressive st… Show more
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.
