INTRODUCTION
The Schmidt rebound hammer is principally a surface hardness tester. It works on
the principle that the rebound of an elastic mass dependson the hardness of the
surface against which the mass impings. There is little apparent theoretical
relationship between the strength of concrete and the rebound number of the
hammer. However, within limits, empirical correlations have been established
between strength properties and the rebound number.
3. Test Procedure
1. Examination of the concrete using the rebar locator
The scanning probe was traversed systematically across the concrete structure
and, where reinforcement was located, moved systematically until a position of
maximum disturbance of the electromagnetic field was indicated by the meter.
Then the rebar were mapped accordingly.
2. Determination of Rebound number and surface strength
The impacts from the rebound hammer were applied vertically upwards from
the locations as shown in the figure 01. Twelve readings were obtained per
location and the mean of each set of readings were calculated using all the
readings as there was no reason to doubt the validity of a particular reading.
The corresponding surface compressive strength values were taken from the
following graph.
