Journal ArticleDOI
The behaviour of ultrasonic pulses in concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the role of compositeness, dispersion, and a feature-based computer system is discussed among others, and the practical consequences of these findings are pointed out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic pulse velocity test of concrete properties as specified in various standards
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared eight standards for the determination of longitudinal pulse velocity and assessment of concrete properties by ultrasonic pulse velocity, as recommended by standards of the UK, USA, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Hungary, and RILEM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution to the Concrete Strength versus Water-Cement Ratio Relationship
Sandor Popovics,Janos Ujhelyi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new type of strength formulas that have a second independent variable beside the water-cement ratio, such as the cement content or water content, or paste content, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of stresses on the ultrasonic pulse velocity in concrete
Sandor Popovics,John S. Popovics +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental results clearly indicate that the pulse velocity in concrete is independent of the stress level to a surprisingly large extent, that is, up to about 70% of the compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Portland cement-fly ash-silica fume systems in concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the synergistic effect of a ternary system of portland cement, fly ash and silica fume on the performance of concrete mortars, and found that the superplasticizer is more effective in increasing the flow as well as strength than in the case of mortars without mineral admixture.
