None of the available non destructive methods for testing concrete and marble seem to provide a better answer.
Examined in the work are construction materials such as concrete and marble.
The present experimental work will examine the behavior of a 30 year old concrete and a dionysos pentelikon marble using destructive as well as the ultrasonic non destructive testing methods.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity upv is an effective non destructive testing ndt method for quality control of concrete materials and detecting damages in structural components.
Among the known methods the ultrasonics seem to stand out because the method could be used to determine many properties of the material.
