The Effect of Compressive Stress on Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity in Concrete for Compressive Strength Prediction

Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) has been a popular non-destructive testing method for prediction of concrete strength. This leads to development of two major types of concrete compressive strength prediction models using measured UPV values, namely the exponential function and the power function. A...
