| Summary: | The evaluation of concrete quality is important to identify where the concrete need to do maintained. Non-destructive testing (NDT) has been used more frequently to evaluate and assess the condition of buildings. This evaluation includes a wide range of activities, including a simple visual inspection. At the maintenance stage, buildings are more often monitored. Special efforts have been placed on the complementary application of various NDT techniques into an integrated structural health monitoring (SHM) system. This study aims to apply the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer test. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the condition of the reinforced concrete (RC) elevated water tanks at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Kampus Paya Besar, Gambang. Two (2) structural parts on the RC elevated water tanks were tested which are beams and columns. For the rebound hammer assessment, it was found that all the structural parts were a very good hard layer. The predicted compressive strength on the structural parts also recorded sufficient strength. In terms of UPV readings, the results show that all of the tested structural parts were of good quality. Therefore, it was revealed that NDT is a potential method to predict the level of damage and building rehabilitation. |
