Extensive laboratory testing and data analyses reveal that the oil and gas industry can reliably estimate foamed-cement sample compressive strength, if the design engineer knows the compressive ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

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 ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

The cement industry is the foundation of the construction sector. As a fundamental ingredient in concrete, cement enables the development of critical infrastructure: bridges, roads, buildings, and ...

The amount of water in concrete controls many fresh and hardened properties in concrete including workability, compressive strengths, permeability and watertightness, durability and weathering, drying ...
