Non-destructive Testing Of Concrete By Rebound Hammer By Kaushal Kishore Materials Engineer‚ Roorkee INTRODUCTION The standard method of determining strength of hardened concrete consists of testing concrete cubes in compression. The quality of entire concrete of a structure cannot be fully assessed by testing a few concrete cubes. The results obtained in testing cubes do not always reflect the actual strength of concrete in construction. In a whole day‚ concreting work cubes are cast in

had been famous for being the first concrete buildings as the Romans were who invent the concrete. Also‚ they were famous for their applying to the arches in a wide range. Thus‚ I will discuss the importance of those two important factors‚ the arches and the concrete and their development. Also‚ I will discuss the results of their use. The Roman buildings were built with a special concrete‚ unlike the concrete that we use in these days. That type of concrete was made from pozzolana‚ a dark material

Title no. 106-S64 TECHNICAL PAPER A Practical Equation for Elastic Modulus of Concrete by Takafumi Noguchi‚ Fuminori Tomosawa‚ Kamran M. Nemati‚ Bernardino M. Chiaia‚ and Alessandro P. Fantilli Many empirical equations for predicting the modulus of elasticity as a function of compressive strength can be found in the current literature. They are obtained from experiments performed on a restricted number of concrete specimens subjected to uniaxial compression. Thus‚ the existing equations cannot

Executive Summary Concrete is the most heavily used construction material in the modern world‚ and given the current global trends towards sustainability there is a need for significant advances‚ particularly in the construction sector. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a recent development in construction materials demonstrating similar structural properties to that of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete‚ yet whilst at the same time addressing the environmental footprint of the industry and

The cement contents‚ Fly Ash Concrete are more durable; actually durability level of Fly Ash Concretes can not de achieved in cement concretes. These aspects‚ besides‚ various benefits of usage of fly ash in cement concrete are discussed in this paper. It is concluded‚ based on the available information‚ that there is no need for any apprehension for use of fly ash and the Fly Ash Concretes are more eco-friendly
