Concrete Compressive Strength by Means of Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Moduli of Elasticity.

Developing non-destructive methods (NDT) that can deliver faster and more accurate results is an objective pursued by many researchers. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach in predicting the concrete compressive strength through means of ultrasonic testing for non-destructive determination of the dynamic and static modulus of elasticity. For this study, the dynamic Poisson's coefficient was assigned values provided by technical literature.
