We’ve published dozens of articles and reports over the years. Here’s a collection of select few that we are particularly excited about!
Nondestructive Evaluation and Repair of Concrete Masonry Unit Walls
Nondestructive testing methods (NDT), including impact-echo techniques, were used to evaluate the quality and integrity of grout in concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls where concerns arose during construction. The testing identified areas of debonding and voids, which were successfully repaired using low-viscosity epoxy injection, restoring the structural integrity of the walls.
Unlocking the Hidden World of Concrete with Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS)
Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) are revolutionizing concrete investigation by providing non-invasive, precise subsurface mapping. From rebar detection to structural assessments, GPRS ensures safety, efficiency, and cost-effective solutions for concrete projects. Learn more in our latest blog!
Schmidt Hammer Testing: Quick Guide to Non-Destructive Concrete Assessment
The Schmidt hammer, also known as the rebound hammer, is a trusted tool for non-destructive testing of concrete and rock strength. Used in construction, engineering, and geology, it provides quick, reliable surface hardness measurements to estimate compressive strength. This guide explores how it works, its advantages, and its role in ensuring structural integrity and quality control.
