Method of making and testing for Compressive Strength of BOSS Specimens-as Described in NDIS 3424 of the Japanese Society for Non-Destructive Inspection

Abstract

Problems that occurred since the 1980s with the durability of concrete structures need a method capable of directly evaluating the concrete quality in structures. The BOSS method may meet this requirement and the outline of the NDIS 3424 standard, constituted in November 2005 by the Japanese Society for Non-Destructive Inspection, “Method of making and testing for compressive strength of BOSS specimens” is outlined.
