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 ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced concrete improves mechanical properties and durability, making it ideal for protecting underground ...

Researchers have found that concrete can be made 30% stronger by replacing a percentage of sand with spent coffee grounds, an organic waste product produced in huge amounts that usually ends up in ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have used microbial processes to produce environmentally friendly bio-concrete from urine as part of a “wastewater-bio-concrete-fertilizer” value chain. With ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...
