Ultrasonic Test on Recycled Concrete: Relationship among Ultrasonic Waves Velocity, Compressive Strength and Elastic Modulus

Abstract:

In this paper an experimental program has been carried out in order to compare compressive strength f_c and elastic static modulus E_c of recycled concrete with ultrasonic waves velocity V_p, to establish the possibility of employing nondestructive ultrasonic tests to qualify recycled concrete. 9 mix of concrete with different substitution percentage of recycled aggregates instead of natural ones and 27 cylindrical samples have been made. At first ultrasonic tests have been carried out on cylindrical samples, later elastic static modulus E_c and compressive strength f_c have been experimentally evaluated. The dynamic elastic modulus E_d has been determined in function of ultrasonic wave velocity V_p; furthermore the correlations among E_d, E_c, f_c e V_p have been determined. It has been demonstrated that ultrasonic tests are suitable for evaluating different deformative and resisting concrete performances even when variations are small.
