Abstract
The assessment of concrete compressive strength plays a key role in the analysis of the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings. However, the adoption of classical destructive tests is usually limited by their invasiveness, cost and time needed for the execution. Thus, in order to overcome these limits and allow investigations to be extended to a large number of points, the use of the rebound hammer test is investigated here with a detailed analysis of the effects on the accuracy of the strength assessment related to the choice of the conversion model relating rebound index to compressive strength. The analysis has been performed by comparing several empirical laws calibrated with data acquired in an experimental investigation of an existing concrete building. The relationships between the coefficients of the examined conversion models are then established, with the aim of reducing the unknowns in the calibration procedure. Furthermore, the influence of the coefficients of variation of concrete strength and rebound index on the results of the calibration procedure has been analyzed, thereby supporting the assessment of the accuracy of the concrete strength.
