Feb 12, 2020· The following is a list of 5 nondestructive testing methods for concrete and a short description as to how each works. 1. Rebound Hammer Testing. This test measures the surface hardness of an area of concrete and requires a tool called a Schmidt Hammer. The hammer features a hammer head that is spring controlled that slides on a plunger device.
