Based on Graph using Rebound Number :

Compressive strength for 3 days = 18 N/mm2
Compressive strength for 7 days = 26 N/mm2
 3. Ultasonic Pulse Velocity Test

No . of days in curing Cube Number Time Velocity

(μ/sec) (km/sec)

1 33.1 4.53
3 days 2 35.3 4.25
3 34.0 4.41
1 33.6 4.46
7 days 2 31.6 4.75
3 32.6 4.60

Pulse velocity (km/sec) Quality of concrete

Above 4.5 Excellent

3.5 – 4.5 Good

3.0 – 3.5 Medium

Below 3.0 Poor

Based on the table our concrete mix is of :

S.No Cube 1 Cube 2 Cube 3
