Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

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 ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

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 ...

A shortage of skilled labor continues to be the dominate issue in the construction industry, and rightfully so. However, delays in construction schedules have always been a thorn in the side of ...

The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) says it is now fully capable of testing the compressive strength of locally manufactured concrete hollow blocks while announcing that plans are being ...
