Abstract

In this study, the ultrasonic pulse velocity technique as a non-destructive testing of concrete was used to assess the effect of some criteria on high strength and light weight aggregate concrete. The study included several concrete mix design with ages of 7, 28 and 90 days. The effect of age, cement content, water ratio and slump on two concrete types was studied and discussed. The use of ultrasonic pulse velocity technique to assessconcrete strength and quality was a good choice for effects determination.

 

Key words: Non destructive testing (NDT), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), compressive strength, regression analysis.
