Abstract
The research focuses on non-destructive testing on an ordinary concrete made of local materials (coarse and fine aggregate), which are obtained from the Jufrah area. Concrete mix design is done by using the BRE method with different W/C ratios. Five concrete mix designs are made with different target compressive strengths. The target compressive strength for three cube specimens at age 28 days ranged between 10 and 60 MPa. Two non-destructive tests were done on the concrete specimens, which are the Schmidt hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). A destructive test is conducted on concrete specimens in order to determine the concrete compressive strength. Relationships are obtained between the Schmidt hammer rebound number, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and the cubes' compressive strength of the local concretes.
