Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

With the gradual depletion of shallow energy resources, such as coal, ore, oil and natural gas, the focus has shifted to mining at depths of up to 5,000 metres. However, the transformative ...
