Objectives and Significance:- Water absorption gives an idea on the internal structure of aggregate. Aggregates having more absorption are more porous in nature and are generally considered unsuitable, unless found to be acceptable based on strength, impact and hardness tests. Aim: – Aim of this test is to determine the water absorption of coarse aggregates. […]

Objectives and significance: – Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test is non destructive test like Rebound Hammer Test. An ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test is an in-situ, nondestructive test to check the quality of concrete. he strength and quality of concrete or rock is assessed by measuring the velocity of an ultrasonic pulse passing through a concrete structure. It is used for Understanding Homogeneity

Objective and significance: – Rebound hammer test is a Non Destructive test unlike cube compression strength test. It means test does not break any specimen to calculate strength of the hardened concrete. This test is rapid and very convenient to use. Schmidt hammer test is also another name of rebound hammer test. Rebound hammer test
