How to perform ultrasonic pulse velocity test as per Indian Standard 13311- Part-1 : 1992 and calculation

 Introduction:- The underlying principle of assessing the quality of concrete is that, for ‘Good’ concrete in terms of density, homogeneity velocities are more than that of ‘weak’ concrete containing imperfection/voids/porosity etc. In order to examine and evaluate the conditions of in-situ concrete the structural investigation shall primarily require assessment of homogeneity of concrete in terms …

Non Destructive testing by Schmidt Hammer as per provisions of IS: 13311 – 1992

Introduction (Schmidt Hammer): This is a simple, handy tool, which can be used to provide a convenient and rapid indication of the compressive strength of concrete. It consists of a spring controlled mass that slides on a plunger within a tubular housing. The schematic diagram showing various parts of a rebound hammer is given as …
