Use of ultrasonic-test data for quality and strength evaluation of concrete

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

A procedure and results of studies conducted by the N. M. Gersevanov Scientific-Research Institute of Foundations and Underground Structures to evaluate the uniformity and quality of concrete in experimental barrette foundations on the ODTs project “Okhta” are described. The curves obtained for the dependence of the strength of concrete on depth made it possible to assess the uniformity of the concrete in the barrette foundations, and obtain verified assessments of the strength class of the concrete.
