Reliability of using nondestructive tests to estimate compressive strength of building stones and bricks

This study aims to investigate the relationships between Schmidt hardness rebound number (RN) and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) versus compressive strength (fc) of stones and bricks. Four types of rocks (marble, pink lime stone, white lime stone and basalt) and two types of burned bricks and lime-...
