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, ...

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 ...

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Committee on Materials and Pavements approves Purdue-invented method as a national standard for estimating concrete strength WEST ...

Wavelogix has announced the launch of the REBEL Concrete Strength Sensing System. The sensor’s patented technology uses piezoelectric technology and an AI-guided signal processing algorithm. The REBEL ...

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 ...

In this video, we compare the strength of Sika fence post foam against rapid-setting concrete by installing two timber posts one with fence post foam and the other with concrete. We assess the ...

Concrete may seem simple, but its strength and durability depend on strict standards and quality control. ASTM and ACI guidelines define everything from material testing to on-site inspections, ...

Sensors from the WaveLogix REBEL Concrete Strength Sensing System, seen here at a road construction site in Tennessee, help detect road strength in real-time. Submitted photo Sensors that could change ...

Purdue University professor Luna Lu holds the REBEL concrete strength sensing system, which her lab invented to improve estimates of in-place strength of concrete structures. As a beta product of ...

Following seven years of research, approval of this Purdue-developed technique as a standard by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials is an initial step toward the ...
