Original Abstract

In this paper, the non-destructive testing methods are analyzed in view of their usability in evalulation of the interlocking paving blocks' compressive strength. Ultrasonic pulse method and impact method (Schmidt impact hammers) were chosen for testing. Testing methodology and way of the results processing considering requests of the national and European standards are described there. In addition, calibration correlations for compression strength and parameter of non-destructive testing method like propagation velocity of ultrasonic pulses or hardness tester rebound are mentioned in this paper.

Keywords

concrete interlocking paving blocks, non-destructive testing methods, ultrasonic pulse method, Schmidt impact hammer, propagation velocity of ultrasonic pulses, compression strength.
