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 ...

Concrete is the most used construction material in the whole world. More than that, behind water, it’s the most used material, all categories combined. Worldwide, about 10 billion tons of concrete are ...

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, ...

The principle of concrete maturity offers a non-destructive approach to estimate strength, crucial for timely decisions in ...

Purdue University professor Luna Lu holds the REBEL concrete strength sensing system, which her lab invented to improve estimates of in-place strength of concrete structures. As a beta product of ...

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 ...

Sensors from the WaveLogix REBEL Concrete Strength Sensing System, seen here at a road construction site in Tennessee, help detect road strength in real-time. Submitted photo Sensors that could change ...

Following seven years of research, approval of this Purdue-developed technique as a standard by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials is an initial step toward the ...
