To use this test method to estimatestrength, it is necessary to establish a relationship between strength and rebound number for a given concrete mixture and givenapparatus. apparatus (see Note 1).

Locations where strengths are to be estimated using the developedcorrelation shall have similar surface texture and shall have been exposed to similar conditions as the locations where correlationcores were taken. The functionality of the rebound hammer shall have been veri
20、fied in accordance with 6.4 before making thecorrelation measurements.NOTE 1See ACI 228.1R3 for additional information on developing the relationship and on using the relationship to estimate in-place strength.5.3 For a given concrete mixture, the rebound number is affected by factors such as moistu

These factors need to be considered in interpreting rebound numbers.NOTE 2The use of molded
22、test specimens to develop a correlation may not provide a reliable relationship because the surface texture and depth ofcarbonation of molded specimens are not usually representative of the in-place concrete.5.4 Different hammers of the same nominal design may give rebound numbers differing from 1 t

If more than one hammer is to be used, perform tests on a rangeof typical concrete surfaces so as to determine the magnitude of the differences to be expected.NOTE 3The use of correction factors to account fo

Apparatus6.1 Rebound Hammer, consisting of a spring-
25、loaded steel hammer that when released strikes a steel plunger in contact with theconcrete surface. The spring-loaded hammer must travel with a consistent and reproducible velocity. The rebound distance of thesteel hammer from the steel plunger is measured on a linear scale attached to the frame of
26、the instrument.NOTE 4Several types and sizes of rebound hammers are commercially available to accommodate testing of various sizes and types of concreteconstruction.6.1.1 The manufacturer shall supply rebound number correction factors for instruments that require such a factor to account forthe orie
27、ntation of the instrument during a test. The correction factor is permitted to be applied automatically by the instrument. Themanufacturer shall keep a record of test data used as the basis for applicable correction factors.6.2 Abrasive Stone, consisting of medium-grain texture silicon carbide or eq

The anvil shall be constructed so that it will result in a rebound number of at least 75 for a properly operatinginstrument (see Note 5). The manufacturer of the rebound hammer shall stipulate th

36、ocks of polished stone havinguniform hardness. Some users compare several hammers on concrete or stone surfaces encompassing the usual range of rebound numbers encounteredin the field.7. Test Area and Interferences7.1 Selection of Test SurfaceConcrete members to be tested shall be at least 100 mm 4
37、in. thick and fixed within a structure.Smaller specimens must be rigidly supported.Avoid areas exhibiting honeycombing, scaling, or high porosity. Do not compare testresults if the form material against which the concrete was placed is not similar (see Note 47). Troweled surfaces generally exhibithi
38、gher rebound numbers than screeded or formed finishes. If possible, test structural slabs from the underside to avoid finishedsurfaces.7.2 Preparation of Test SurfaceAtest area shall be at least 150 mm 6 in. in diameter. Heavily textured, soft, or surfaces withloose mortar shall be ground flat with
39、the abrasive stone described in 6.2. Smooth-formed or troweled surfaces do not have to beground prior to testing (see Note 47). Do not compare results from ground and unground surfaces. Remove free surface water, ifpresent, before testing.NOTE 7Where formed surfaces were ground, increases in rebound
40、 number of 2.1 for plywood formed surfaces and 0.4 for high-density plywoodformed surfaces have been noted.4 Dry concrete surfaces give higher rebound numbers than wet surfaces. The presence of surface carbonation can alsoresult in higher rebound numbers.5 In cases of a thick layer of carbonated con
41、crete, it may be necessary to remove the carbonated layer in the test area,using a power grinder, to obtain rebound numbers that are representative of the interior concrete. Data are not available on the relationship betweenrebound number and thickness of carbonated concrete. The user should exercis
42、e professional judgment when testing carbonated concrete.7.3 Do not test frozen concrete.NOTE 8Moist concrete at 0 C 32 F or less may exhibit high rebound values. Concrete should be tested only after it has thawed. The temperaturesof the rebound hammer itself may affect the rebound number. Rebound h
43、ammers at -18 C 0 F may exhibit rebound numbers reduced by as much as2 or 3 units6.7.4 For readings to be compared, the direction of impact, horizontal, downward, upward, or at another angle, must be the sameor established correction factors shall be applied to the readings.7.5 Do not conduct tests
44、directly over reinforcing bars with cover less than 20 mm 0.75 in.NOTE 9The location of reinforcement may be established using reinforcement locators or metal detectors. Follow the manufacturers instructions forproper operation of such devices.8. Procedure8.1 Hold the instrument firmly so that the p
45、lunger is perpendicular to the test surface. Record the orientation of the instrumentwith respect to horizontal to the nearest 45 degree increment. Use a positive angle if the instrument points upward and a negativeangle if it points downward with respect to horizontal during testing (see Note 10).
46、Gradually push the instrument toward the testsurface until the hammer impacts. After impact, maintain pressure on the instrument and, if necessary, depress the button on theside of the instrument to lock the plunger in its retracted position. Read and record the rebound number on the scale to the ne
47、arestwhole number and record the rebound number. Take ten readings from each test area. No two impact tests shall be closer togetherthan The distances between impact points shall be at least 25 mm 1 in., and the distance between impact points and edges of themember shall be at least 50 mm 2 in. Exam
48、ine the impression made on the surface after impact, and if the impact crushes orbreaks through a near-surface air void disregard the reading and take another reading.NOTE 10Digital angle gages are available that can be attached to the body of the instrument to allow quick measurement of the angle w
49、ith respectto horizontal. The recorded orientation would be 0 degrees (horizontal), 645 degrees (inclined), or 690 (vertical). For example, if the instrument pointsvertically down during a test, the angle would be reported as 90 degrees. If the angle is measured to be 55 degrees upward from horizontal, the recordedangle to the nearest 45 degree increment would be +45 degrees.9. Calculation9.1 Discard readings differing from the average of 10 readings by more than 6 units and determine the average of the remainingreadings. If more than
