7、 amountof energy, a steel plunger in contact with a surface of concrete,and the distance that the hammer rebounds is measured.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is applicable to assess the in-placeuniformity of concrete, to delineate regions in a structure ofpoorer quality or deteriorated c

To use this test method toestimate streng
9、th, it is necessary to establish a relationshipbetween strength and rebound number for a given concretemixture and given apparatus. Establish the relationship bycorrelating rebound numbers measured on the structure withthe strengths of cores taken from corresponding locations. Atleast two replicate
10、cores shall be taken from at least sixlocations with different rebound numbers. Select test locationsso that a wide range of rebound numbers in the structure isobtained. Obtain, moisture condition, and test cores in accor-dance with Test Method C 42/C 42M.NOTE 1See ACI 228.1R3for additional informat
11、ion on developingthe relationship and on using the relationship to estimate in-place strength.5.3 For a given concrete mixture, the rebound number isaffected by factors such as moisture content of the test surface,the method used to obtain the test surface (type of formmaterial or type of finishing)
12、, vertical distance from the bottomof a concrete placement, and the depth of carbonation. Thesefactors need to be considered in interpreting rebound numbers.5.4 Different hammers of the same nominal design may giverebound numbers differing from 1 to 3 units.

The spring-loaded hammer musttravel with a consistent and reproducible velocity. The rebounddistance of the steel hammer from the
18、 steel plunger is measuredon a linear scale attached to the frame of the instrument.NOTE 2Several types and sizes of rebound hammers are commer-cially available to accommodate testing of various sizes and types ofconcrete construction.6.2 Abrasive Stone, consisting of medium-grain texturesilicon car

An instrument guide is provided to center the reboundhammer over the impact area and keep the inst
20、rument perpen-dicular to the surface.6.4 VerificationRebound hammers shall be serviced andverified annually and whenever there is reason to question theirproper operation. Verify the functional operation of a reboundhammer using the test anvil described in 6.3. During verifica-tion, support the test
21、 anvil on a bare concrete floor or slab. Themanufacturer shall report the rebound number to be obtainedby a properly operating instrument when tested on an anvil ofspecified hardness.NOTE 3Typically, a rebound hammer will result in a rebound numberof 80 6 2 when tested on the anvil described in 6.3.
22、 The test anvil needsto be supported on a rigid base to obtain reliable rebound numbers.Verification on the test anvil does not guarantee that the hammer will yieldrepeatable data at other points on the scale. The hammer can be verifiedat lower rebound numbers by using blocks of polished stone havin
23、guniform hardness. Some users compare several hammers on concrete orstone surfaces encompassing the usual range of rebound numbers encoun-tered in the field.7. Test Area and Interferences7.1 Selection of Test SurfaceConcrete members to betested shall be at least 100 mm 4 in. thick and fixed within a
24、structure. Smaller specimens must be rigidly supported. Avoidareas exhibiting honeycombing, scaling, or high porosity. Donot compare test results if the form material against which theconcrete was placed is not similar (see Note 4). Troweledsurfaces generally exhibit higher rebound numbers thanscree
25、ded or formed finishes. If possible, test structural slabsfrom the underside to avoid finished surfaces.7.2 Preparation of Test SurfaceAtest area shall be at least150 mm 6 in. in diameter. Heavily textured, soft, or surfaceswith loose mortar shall be ground flat with the abrasive stonedescribed in 6
26、.2. Smooth-formed or troweled surfaces do nothave to be ground prior to testing (see Note 4). Do not compareresults from ground and unground surfaces. Remove freesurface water, if present, before testing.NOTE 4Where formed surfaces were ground, increases in reboundnumber of 2.1 for plywood formed su
27、rfaces and 0.4 for high-densityplywood formed surfaces have been noted.4Dry concrete surfaces givehigher rebound numbers than wet surfaces. The presence of surfacecarbonation can also result in higher rebound numbers.5In cases of a thicklayer of carbonated concrete, it may be necessary to remove the
28、 carbon-ated layer in the test area, using a power grinder, to obtain reboundnumbers that are representative of the interior concrete. Data are notavailable on the relationship between rebound number and thickness ofcarbonated concrete. The user should exercise professional judgmentwhen testing carb
29、onated concrete.7.3 Do not test frozen concrete.NOTE 5Moist concrete at 0 C 32 F or less may exhibit highrebound values. Concrete should be tested only after it has thawed. Thetemperatures of the rebound hammer itself may affect the reboundnumber. Rebound hammers at -18 C 0 F may exhibit rebound num
30、bersreduced by as much as 2 or 3 units6.7.4 For readings to be compared, the direction of impact,horizontal, downward, upward, or at another angle, must be thesame or established correction factors shall be applied to thereadings.7.5 Do not conduct tests directly over reinforcing bars withcover less
31、 than 20 mm 0.75 in.NOTE 6The location of reinforcement may be established usingreinforcement locators or metal detectors. Follow the manufacturersinstructions for proper operation of such devices.8. Procedure8.1 Hold the instrument firmly so that the plunger isperpendicular to the test surface. Gra
32、dually push the instrumenttoward the test surface until the hammer impacts. After impact,maintain pressure on the instrument and, if necessary, depressthe button on the side of the instrument to lock the plunger inits retracted position. Read the rebound number on the scale tothe nearest whole numbe
33、r and record the rebound number. Taketen readings from each test area. No two impact tests shall becloser together than 25 mm 1 in. Examine the impressionmade on the surface after impact, and if the impact crushes orbreaks through a near-surface air void disregard the readingand take another reading
34、.9. Calculation9.1 Discard readings differing from the average of 10readings by more than 6 units and determine the average of theremaining readings. If more than 2 readings differ from theaverage by 6 units, discard the entire set of readings anddetermine rebound numbers at 10 new locations within
