Download or read book CRC Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete written by V. M. Malhotra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-11-20 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CRC Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete provides a comprehensive review of the various nondestructive methods for evaluating concrete in the field and in the laboratory. The book describes the operating principles for each method presented and practical information is provided to facilitate performing the tests and interpreting the results. Test methods are divided into two broad categories. The first category includes methods intended primarily for measuring in-place strength or stiffness. These include the surface hardness, penetration resistance, pullout, breakoff, maturity, resonant frequency, pulse velocity, and combined methods. The second category includes methods intended primarily for assessing the condition of existing structures or measuring properties other than strength. These include magnetic/electrical, radioactive/nuclear, radar, stress wave propagation, infrared thermography, and acoustic emission methods. The handbook is intended for concrete technologists, engineers, and students who need the latest information regarding available methods for quality control or in-service investigations of concrete structures.
Download or read book Non Destructive In Situ Strength Assessment of Concrete written by Denys Breysse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 249-ISC. Addressing the effective application of new recommendations for non-destructive in situ strength assessment of concrete, it provides information about the different steps of the investigation and processing of test results, until the delivery of strength estimates, and includes tables giving the minimum required number of cores in a variety of situations as well as several examples of how the recommendations can be used in practice. The book explores a topic which is of major importance, i.e. the assessment of concrete compressive strength in existing structures. This property (both mean and standard deviation) is a key input in many cases, such as the reinforcement of structures, the safety checking, the extension of service life. As the new RILEM recommendations imply a deep revision (and improvement) of field practice, the book is intended for managers of structures, structural engineers and specialists of NDT that have to answer these issues. More widely, it will benefit engineers and students who are interested in NDT and in the safety analysis of structures.
Download or read book Rebound Hammer Test and Non Destructive Testing of Concrete written by Chetan Singh and published by Chetan Singh. This book was released on with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebound Hammer Test and Non Destructive Testing (NDT) of Concrete are essential techniques used in the assessment of the quality, durability, and structural integrity of concrete structures. This book provides a guide to the principles, applications, and techniques involved in these methods. The ndt test for concrete book starts by introducing the basic properties of concrete, its construction process, and the reasons why testing is crucial. It then delves into the various methods of NDT, including Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Impact Echo, among others. The focus of the book, however, is on the Rebound Hammer Test, which is one of the most widely used NDT methods for concrete. The rebound hammer test book discusses the theory behind the Rebound Hammer Test, how it works, and the factors that affect its accuracy. It provides detailed guidance on how to perform the test correctly and interpret the results. The book also covers the limitations of the test and its potential sources of error. In addition to the technical aspects of the Rebound Hammer Test and NDT, the book also covers the practical applications of these methods. It discusses how these techniques can be used to assess the quality and durability of concrete structures, identify defects and damage, and plan maintenance and repair activities. The NDT book includes a glossary of key terms and concepts, as well as a comprehensive set of frequently asked questions to help readers understand the material better. Overall, this book is an essential resource for engineers, technicians, and researchers working in the field of concrete construction and maintenance. It provides a thorough understanding of the Rebound Hammer Test and NDT, including the practical applications and limitations of these methods.

Download or read book Non destructive Testing of Materials in Civil Engineering written by Krzysztof Schabowicz and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of nondestructive testing of different materials in civil engineering—from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures, and acoustic methods predominate in this field. As in medicine, the trend is towards designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. From this point of view, interesting results with significance for building practices have been obtained

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reference book. Although it might conceivably be read in the order in which the subjects appear it was designed to be consulted subject to subject as one uses a dictionary or encyclopedia. To facilitate quick identification and location of building materials, characteristics and problems they are first listed in the table of contents, repeated in the chapter headings and listed in the index. In addition to describing how building materials respond to environmental stresses in terms of their mechanical, electrical, chemical and thermal properties, brief references to their normal behavior and a comparison of various material characteristics has been included. Most of the information gathered and presented here represents the contemporary developments of ancient building lore. The increasing importance of renewal, rehabilitation, retrofit and restoration is placing added importance on material behavior. A separate and distinct field of building science is emerging as increasingly sophisticated instruments are linked to the growing ability and decreasing costs of computer analysis. This book describes one segment of a new building science-that of building diagnosis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, significant developments have occurred in concrete testing and in establishing test procedures for nondestructive testing (NDT). With NDT equipment, inspectors can now determine concrete strength, pavement thickness, degree of consolidation, and curing temperatures quickly and accurately. The purpose of this guide is to present general information on several pieces of commercially available NDT equipment. The majority of the equipment covered is used for measuring the early age, in-situ, strength of the concrete at ages less than 28 days.
