Cost Effectiveness
Destructive Testing : Huge Cost is initially
required for taking the sample and then to test it.
NDT : It is very easy and simple and a lot many
tests can be performed on concrete less than
single amount required for sampling of concrete.

OBJECTIVES
To access uniformity and homogeneity of Concrete
To access the quality of Concrete in relation to
standard requirements
Detection of the presence and approximate extent
of Cracks, Voids & other imperfection in concrete.
Measurement of changes occurring with time in
the properties of the concrete.
Correlation of Pulse velocity & strength as a
measure of Concrete quality.
Interpretation of Test
Results
Velocity criteria for concrete quality
grading.
Pullout Test
The fundamental principle behind
pull out testing is that the test
equipment designed to a specific
geometry will produce results (pullout forces) that closely correlate to
the compressive strength of
concrete.
Uses
Determine in-situ compressive strength
of the concrete

Carbonation Test
OBJECTIVES
To assess

pink/purple at a pH greater than 10)
Commercially available indicator measures pH
from 1 to 14 with a rainbow spectrum
