7 FACTORS INFLUENCING REBOUND HAMMER TEST OF CONCRETE

7 Factors Influencing Rebound hammer test of concrete

Rebound Hammer Test The Schmidt rebound hammer is principally a surface hardness tester with little apparent theoretical relationship between the strength of concrete and the rebound number of the hammer. However, within limits, empirical correlations have been established between strength properties and the rebound number. Further, scientist has attempted to establish a correlation between the … Read more
