Wang H., 2016, Nondestructive Testing of Concrete Strength Based on Consolidation Wave Speed Measurement, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 51, 1141-1146.
Consolidation wave speed measurement is used to identify the quality of concrete structures, and to inspect defective concrete specimens. Experiments and numerical analysis were used to establish a nondestructive testing technique for concrete structures in the paper, based on consolidation stress wave speed measurement for anchoring segments of reinforced concrete. The results showed that the shock pulse on reinforcing bars by exciter could effectively detect defects of concrete specimens, and could reveal inner concrete structures in a comprehensive and precise manner.
