        Hi
friends, you are welcomed in the world of  Civil
Allied Gyan. In this article I have
explained about  rebound hammer test  for concrete, which
is also known
as non destructive test (NDT) for
concrete.

By the help
of this blog you can easily find the compressive strength of concrete
by  using
the rebound hammer test for concrete. So please
continue to the end & keep your love and
support on me.

What is the Rebound Hammer Test ?


Rebound Hammer test is a Non-destructive testing method
of concrete to find out the
compressive strength of concrete using the Rebound
Hammer as per IS : 13311 : 1992
(PART– 02). This test provides a convenient and
rapid indication.

Principal of the Rebound Hammer Test :-


The rebound
number of an elastic mass depends on the hardness of the surface against
which its mass strikes.

APPARATUS REQUIRED FOR


THE TEST:-

3. Read the rebound number on the scale to the nearest whole number and record
the rebound number. Take ten readings from each test area. No two impact tests shall be Top 10 TMT Bar Manufacture

READING YOUR RESULTS:-

1. Make at least ten readings from a concrete surface and discard the highest and lowest
rebound numbers.
2. Average the remaining eight numbers. If desired, take a few test readings before you
complete your series of ten regular tests.
3. Use the average rebound number to estimate the strength of the concrete.
4. Compare your average rebound number to the chart shown on your Concrete Rebound
Hammer.

Rebound Hammer

Who invented rebound hammer ?


A  Schmidt hammer, also known as a Swiss  hammer  or
a  rebound hammer  or

concrete hammer, is a apparatus to measure the
elastic properties or strength of concrete or
rock, mainly surface hardness and
penetration resistance. Rebound Hammer
was invented by Ernst Schmidt, a
Swiss engineer.
