An integrated approach for the strength evaluation on RC beams by the combination of hammer test and compression test

Abstract The structural performance of the old existing RC building needs to be evaluated, as it is susceptible severe damage. There are two different types examine members’ capacity: destructive and non-destructive tests, with their drawbacks difficulties. main purpose this research establish integrated approach evaluating compressive strength beams by providing distribution visualization. Hence, combination results from hammer test, compression two-point load flexural test was taken into account. In study, a tests performed on beam specimen. discovered that concrete distributed randomly difference 20%. However, pattern in zone showed similar results: lower value. abovementioned were then validated test. By comparing failure visualization, damaged area has smaller than other areas. Thus, engineers could use visualization guide considering repairing options more effectively.
