Rebound Hammer Test

The Rebound Hammer Test, also known as the Schmidt Hammer Test, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to assess the surface hardness and estimated compressive strength of concrete. It provides a quick and simple way to evaluate the uniformity and quality of concrete in structures without causing damage.

Applications of Rebound Hammer Test:

• Estimating the compressive strength of in-situ concrete
• Assessing uniformity and quality of concrete in existing structures
• Identifying weak zones in slabs, beams, columns, and pavements
• Comparative testing of different concrete mixes
• Condition assessment of old buildings, bridges, and industrial structures

Procedure: The spring-driven hammer strikes the concrete surface, and the rebound value (rebound index) is recorded. The higher the rebound, the greater the estimated compressive strength. Results are interpreted as per IS 13311 (Part 2) / ASTM C805 standards.
