The use of concrete as a primary construction material has seen steady increase year after year, which is why it is imperative to have at our disposal different non-destructive methods for quick and easy determination of its resistance. Once non-destructive method is the sclerometric index, which determines the level of compactness of the concrete particles. Various studies over years have found the sclerometric index to be highly correlated to concrete resistance. Nevertheless, these studies didn’t correct for factors such as the age and composition of the concrete mixture, both of which greatly influence sclerometry. They aim of this study was to determine whether superficial hardness testing (sclerometry) is an appropriate method for measuring concrete resistance, by analyzing samples of distinct age and maximum nominal size. These factors were analyzed and stored in a database which generated linear regression graphs, thereby improving the confidence interval for the Pearson correlation coefficient.
