The characterisation of old concrete using destructive and the ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods
Two approaches seem promising. In the first of them the velocity, whereas in the second one the damage of ultrasonic waves in concrete are used. In this experimental work, destructive and ultrasonic NDT methods are applied in order to study the damage evolution versus the compressive loading of 30 year-old concrete.
