Comparatively Study of Non-Destructive test with different methods in various curing days

Abstract

In non-destructive testing, materials, components, or assemblies are inspected, tested, or evaluated without being destroyed. In nondestructive testing, materials, components, and assemblies are evaluated for quality and integrity without damaging them. The use of non-destructive testing (NDT) is a popular method for assessing the strength and durability of existing concrete structures. An ultrasound pulse velocity test and a rebound hammer test are included in the NDT test. An NDT test includes both ultrasound pulse velocity testing and rebound hammer testing. Strength tests are conducted with rebound hammers, while quality tests are conducted with ultrasonic pulse velocity tests. A lab-made concrete cube was tested on three different ages-seven, fourteen, and 28 days-without destroying it. There were 15 cubes that were treated using non-destructive methods. Using both Schmidt rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests, we determined which non-destructive testing method was faster. In addition to surfaces, Schmidt rebound hammers are the toughest tools to use. Rebound number and concrete strength seem to be connected. Schmidt hammers were employed in both vertical and horizontal settings. Concrete’s ultrasonic pulse velocity is mostly determined by its identity and modulus of elasticity, that are motivated by the substances used in making the concrete in addition to its placement, compaction, and curing techniques.
