This paper deals with the possibilities of experimental determination of the dynamic and static modulus of elasticity of fine-grained cement composites in the early stage of setting and hardening - up to 72 hours. Several cement pastes and cement mortars were produced for the purpose of this experiment. The measurement of the modulus of elasticity on the manufactured cement-based composites was carried out in the first 24 hours, each time only by the ultrasonic pulse velocity test using the innovative Vikasonic instrument. In the following 48 hours, the resonance method and the static load test were employed. The results of the pilot measurement and particularly the assessment of the possibilities of determination of the moduli of elasticity are presented in this paper.

It is often necessary to determine strength of concrete (Normal-weight, High-performance and Light-Weight) in the structure. To determine strength, ultrasonic pulse method is used. However, the basic condition of its effective use is existence of relations between velocity of ultrasonic pulse propagation and strength. These relations are elaborated for normal weight concrete in great extent. However, for other types of concrete, relations for determination of strength on the basis of ultrasonic pulse velocity are stated in technical literature and their practical applicability could be questioned. The paper gives analysis of such relations from the point of view of practical applicability for determination of parameters of concrete built in a structure.

The paper analyses the influence of transducer frequency on the determination of concrete homogeneity using the ultrasonic pulse velocity test. Transit time measurements were made on a 590×590mm concrete slab, with 110mm in thickness, in a raster of 5×5 points, which means the slab was tested in 25 places. The tests were made using a Pundit PL-200 ultrasonic tester using transducers set at 54, 82, and 150 kHz. Two types of measurements were performed – spot measurements of the ultrasonic pulse transit time at each point and full area scanning. The paper is concluded by an evaluation of the concrete slab’s homogeneity measured by different transducers and techniques in addition to a statistical analysis of how the results are affected by the transducer frequency.

The paper discusses the results of an experiment that focused on measuring Young's modulus in compression using several different specimens. They were made from lightweight concrete with porous aggregate and differed in shape (cylinder × prism), type (casting × core drilling), and size. Each type category counted a minimum of 6 specimens. The determination of Young's modulus was supplemented by a measurement of the dynamic modulus of elasticity determined by the ultrasonic pulse velocity test. The experiment was concluded by a statistical analysis of the measured values, which focused on the influence of each specimen variety on the value of the elastic modulus.
