Its abundant raw materials, low price, and simple production process have led to its increasing use. Concrete also boasts high compressive strength, excellent durability, and a wide range of strength grades, making it a widely applicable material. It is used not only in various civil engineering projects but also in shipbuilding, machinery, marine development, geothermal engineering, and other fields.
[0003] Traditional concrete strength testing methods, such as rebound and core drilling, have numerous limitations. The rebound method is significantly affected by the concrete surface condition and suffers from unstable test accuracy.
