چکیده

The European Standard EN 13791 provides methodologies for estimating concrete compressive strength in structures. This standard covers the testing of cores as well as the use of indirect methods, such as the rebound hammer, USPV and pull-out tests. This communication refers to a study carried out in a building where the methodologies presented in EN 13791 has been applied to estimate the in-situ characteristic strength, based on a widened set of pairs of rebound hammer and core compressive strength test results. A statistical interpretation of the two alternatives provided by the standard for the establishment of the relationship between the in-situ strength and the rebound number is presented, and some relevant aspects related to the regression analysis not mentioned by the standard, such as the precision of the rebound number and the confidence level, are discussed. Résumé La norme européenne EN 13791 fournit des méthodes pour estimer la résistance en compression du béton dans les structures. Cette norme couvre les essais de carottes, ainsi que le recours à des méthodes indirectes telles que le scléromètre, USPV et l’essai d’arrachement. Cette communication se réfère à une étude réalisée dans un bâtiment où les méthodologies présentées dans la norme EN 13791 ont été appliquées pour estimer la résistance caractéristique in situ, sur la base d'un large ensemble de résultats de l’essai scléromètrique et de l’essai de compression de carottes. Une interprétation statistique des deux alternatives prévues par la norme pour l'établissement de la relation entre la résistance in situ et l’indice scléromètrique est présentée, Certains aspects pertinents liés à l'analyse de régression non mentionnés par la norme, tels que l'erreur de mesure de l’indice scléromètrique et le niveau de confiance, sont discutés.

Influence of Surface Preparation Method on the Concrete Rebound Number obtained from Impact Hammer Test

For concrete strength detection in structures different testing procedures are being used. For nondestructive testing of concrete strength built in the construction the most used impact hammers in technical practice are those of Schmidt system. The hammer rebound value on concrete is influenced by number of factors, these includes the treatment of the test area. In the article there are present...

Application of Schmidt rebound number for estimating rock strength under specific geological conditions

A literature review revealed that most of the empirical equations introduced for determination of the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks based on the Schmidt hammer rebound number (N) are not sufficiently reliable mostly due to the relatively low coefficient of correlations. This is attributed to the fact that in most cases one formula is used for all types of rocks, altho...

Improving Non - Destructive Test Results Using Artificial Neural Networks

In the construction industry, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are gaining more popularity for their ability to examine the in-situ component properties without damaging the structure. One of the most common NDTs for measuring the concrete compressive strength on site is the Rebound Hammer Test. Using the rebound value obtained from the test hammer, the concrete compressive strength can be...
