Abstract

This paper reviews the most common non-destructive testing (NDT) method (UPV) ultra-pulse velocity analysis of concrete cubes as utilized by the structural engineering industry. The fundamentals of (UPV) NDT method are explored in regards to their potential, limitations, inspection techniques and interpretations. The factors that influence the success of (UPV) NDT method are discussed and ways to mediate their influence are recommended. Reference is made to standard guidelines for the application and interpretation of the discussed (UPV) NDT method. NDT of concrete was found to be gaining increasing acceptance as a means of evaluating the strength, uniformity, durability and other properties of existing concrete structures. The intent of this paper is to address these concerns by identifying and describing the most common successful methods of NDT as applied to concrete structures.
