"Frequently engineers find it imperative to determine the compressive strength of concrete as it exists in a structure. There are two methods of making this determination, either by a destructive or a non-destructive test. The destructive test has the disadvantage of being costly, time consuming, and detrimental to the appearance of the concrete surface. The non-destructive, pulse-velocity, sonic measuring devices used to determine the compressive strength of concrete in the field also have the disadvantage of high cost due to the large initial cost of the equipment.
A relatively new non-destructive testing device has been developed which may replace the …
