G Prerequisite Theory:
There are occasions when the various performance characteristics of
concrete in a structure are required to be assessed. In most of the
cases, an estimate of strength of concrete in the structure is needed,
although parameters like overall quality, uniformity, etc., also become
important in others. The various methods that can be adopted for in-
situ assessment of strength properties of concrete depend upon the
particular aspect of strength in question.
There are various such non-destructive testing methods which can be
broadly classified as those which measure the overall quality of
concrete, for example dynamic or vibration methods like resonance
K.D. Polytechnic, Patan 3
frequency and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests; and those which
involve measurement of parameters like surface hardness, rebound,
penetration, pull-out strength, etc., and are believed to be indirectly
related to the compressive strength of concrete.
The rebound hammer test is not intended as a substitute for
standard compression test, but as a method for determining the
uniformity of concrete in the structure and comparing one concrete
with another.
The rebound hammer method could be used for: -
1. Assessing the likely compressive strength of concrete with the help
of suitable correlations between rebound index and compressive
strength.
2. Assessing the uniformity of concrete.
3. Assessing the quality of the concrete in relation to standard
requirements.
4. Assessing the quality of one element of concrete in relation to
another.
Principle of Test: -
When the plunger of rebound hammer is pressed against the surface
of the concrete, the spring- controlled mass rebounds and the extent
of such rebound depends upon the surface hardness of concrete. The
surface hardness and therefore the rebound is taken to be related to
the compressive strength of the concrete. The rebound is read off
along a graduated scale and is designated as the rebound number
or rebound index.

J. Safety and necessary Precautions followed
1. Care should be taken during Cleaning of concrete surface.
2. Care should be taken during Testing.
3. Be accurate while applying push to minimize human error.
4. Equipment should be cleaned before and after performance of
test.

K. Procedure to be followed:

1. For testing, smooth, clean and dry surface is to be selected. If


loosely adhering scale is present, this should be rubbed off with a
grinding wheel or stone. Rough surfaces resulting from incomplete
compaction, loss of grout, spalled or tooled surfaces do not give
reliable results and should be avoided.
2. The point of impact should be at least 20 mm away from any edge
or shape discontinuity.
3. For taking a measurement, the rebound hammer should be held at
right angles to the surface of the concrete member. The test can thus
be conducted horizontally on vertical surfaces or vertically upwards
or downwards on horizontal surfaces. If the situation demands, the
rebound hammer can be held at intermediate angles also, but in each
case, the rebound number will be different for the same concrete.
4. Rebound hammer test is conducted around all the points of
observation on all accessible faces of the structural element.
Concrete surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before taking any
measurement. Around each point of observation, six readings of
rebound indices are taken and average of these readings after

deleting outliers as per IS 8900:1978 becomes the rebound index for
the point of observation.
5. Two concrete cubes are tested till failure and the ultimate load is
noted.
6. The rebound hammer test is repeated for the remaining two cubes
for different percentages of loading up to failure and the results are
noted.
