Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 1, No. 1 (January to March, 2007), pp. 26-35 (10 pages) Abstract: This paper discusses the compressive strength of earth mortars. The goal is to ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

In the Arizona desert, a lab accident more than a decade ago set in motion the development of a building material that could ...

Maturity and compressive strength of concrete is tested through both destructive and non-destructive methods. Destructive test involve damaging some of an element or the structure. Some would like to ...

Not all damage to a load-bearing structure is immediately apparent. So how do civil engineers find out that a bridge or a large hall is no longer safe? Many clues form a picture. Concrete structures ...
