Masonry as a structural material is almost the most extensively used construction practice because of its intrinsic advantages that comprise of durability, economy, aesthetics, ease of construction, ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

This study introduces an innovative approach to predicting the early-age compressive strength (CS) of concrete by integrating Internet of Things (IoT) with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Unlike ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

A shortage of skilled labor continues to be the dominate issue in the construction industry, and rightfully so. However, delays in construction schedules have always been a thorn in the side of ...
