Structural Health Monitoring using Rebounding Hammer Test

Non destructive testing NDT is a technique used to evaluate the condition of structures and collect material properties without causing damage to the specimens. The rebound hammer test is one of the most regularly used NDT procedures. For structural health monitoring, several techniques are frequently used, including ultra pulse velocity, half cell potential, core cutter, carbonation depth, rebar finder, quick chloride penetration test, electric resistivity meter test, and vibration based analysis. Visual inspection, NDT, laboratory testing, and field testing are all viable methods for determining a structures condition.Concretes mechanical properties can be estimated using both destructive and non destructive methods. Concrete samples can be tested destructively by being crushed to determine their strength, but non destructive techniques can also be used, such as the rebound hammer test and ultrasonic devices, to evaluate compression strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity UPV in concrete.In this Project we determine the compressive strength by Rebound hammer only. The columns are selected from E block Raj Kumar Goel Institute of technology Ghaziabad. In the experimental work the eight columns are selected for taking readings. We found that all columns have good health.
