Prediction of Compressive Strength of Conventional Concrete using Various Correlation Techniques between Destructive and Non Destructive Test Results on Concrete

Abstract: To calibrate material properties destructive techniques as well as non destructive techniques mainly ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV), rebound hammer (RN), combined use of ultrasonic pulse velocity tester and rebound hammer (SonReb), Windsor probe penetration test etc. are frequently used to combine. For these purpose different mathematical models designed with the combination of NDT techniques. From last few decades data training method such as response surface, artificial neural network, least square method, fuzzy logic, M5 methods are popular. This review work presents the regression techniques proposed by various authors to estimate compressive strength by correlating destructive and non destructive test results on concrete.
