Reinforcement bar measurement in structural concrete using ultrasonic method / Mohd Badrul Hisyam Md Ali

Rebar diameter in structural concrete is an important parameter for a structural engineer to calculate the strength of certain construction. For construction, the critical area for structure is at beam, column and slab. At present only Radiography is the reliable and accurate non-destructive method...
