Abstract

In civil engineering practice there is often the need for estimation of compressive strength of concrete during construction process and for that purpose different testing methods have been proposed. This paper deals with application of acousto-ultrasonic (AU) measurement method for monitoring of strength development process in concrete and presents outcomes of an experimental investigation on six concrete mixtures prepared with two types of cement and three different w/c ratios. Experimental work was conducted in Laboratory for materials testing at Civil Engineering Faculty in Zagreb.
