Comparison of Non-Destructive Test Methods for Concrete Compressive Strength in Existing Structures

Estimates of in-place strength for the structural evaluation of concrete structures is a required element of a modern repair/rehabilitation project. Although in-place cores are the most direct method for determining concrete compressive strength, economy of both time and money, has lead to the development of other test methods in determining in-place concrete compressive strength . This has also allowed more tests to be taken for a significant increase in the confidence with the quality of the existing concrete.
