Testing Concrete: Recommendations for the Assessment of Concrete Strength by Near-to-Surface Tests
Also Known As:
BS 1881-207:1992 is a standard that provides recommendations for the assessment of concrete strength using near-to-surface tests. The standard covers various testing methods such as internal fracture, pull-out, pull-off, penetration resistance, and break-off tests.
The standard specifies the procedures to be followed for each testing method, including the preparation of test specimens, the application of the test load or force, and the measurement of the results. It also provides guidance on the interpretation of the test results and their use for assessing the strength of the concrete.
By using these near-to-surface tests, the standard aims to provide a non-destructive and convenient way to determine the strength of concrete in situ or on samples taken from structures. The results of these tests can be used for quality control purposes, to assess the performance of existing structures, or to determine the suitability of concrete for specific applications.
