The DIN EN 12504-4 standard provides guidelines for measuring the velocity of ultrasonic waves in hardened concrete. This method is crucial in evaluating the quality, strength, and durability of concrete in various construction projects.
The standard outlines the procedure for determining the velocity of propagation of ultrasonic longitudinal waves or ultrasonic transverse waves in concrete. Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing is commonly employed to assess the uniformity, homogeneity, and integrity of concrete structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams. The results obtained through this method can also be used to estimate parameters like compressive strength and elastic modulus of the concrete.
