5 POPULAR METHODS FOR TESTING CONCRETE STRENGTH
The compressive strength of concrete is measured to ensure quality control and quality assurance of concrete structures. Here are the five common methods used for testing the concrete strength.

WINDSOR PROBE TEST It is a non-destructive method capable of measuring concrete with a maximum compressive strength of 17,000 PSI.
PULLOUT TESTING This is an easy-to-use method that can be performed in both new and old constructions.
DRILLED CORE In this method, hardened concrete is extracted using a core drill. The sample is compressed in a machine to monitor the strength.
REBOUND HAMMER This method works on the spring release mechanism, but results can be skewed by the surface condition.
ULTRASONIC PULSE VELOCITY It determines the velocity of a pulse of vibrational energy through a slab which provides the measurement of concrete’s elasticity, resistance to deformation, and density.
