Hammer Test Testing (SNI 03-4430-1997)


1. Purpose

The purpose of this test method is to estimate the compressive


strength value of concrete on a structural element for the purposes of
controlling concrete quality in the field for planning and supervising work
implementation (SNI, Testing Method for Compressive Strength of
Concrete Structural Elements Using Type N and NR Concrete Hammer
Test Equipment, 1997) .

2. Theoretical Basis

Hammer Test is a steel hammer that is moved by a spring force


which, when released, will hit a steel slider against the concrete surface.
Surface hardness is a reading value indicated by the amount of resilience
after the steel slide hits the concrete surface. Concrete strength can be
obtained using graphs or using calculations based on tables written in the
Hammer Test manual.

The test field on structural elements must meet the following conditions:

1) the concrete surface to be tested must be a solid, smooth surface


and not covered by plaster or other coating materials;
2) the selected test plane must be dry and smooth, free from
protrusions or holes;
3) the locations of the test areas must be determined according to
the dimensions of the structural elements and the number of test
values required for the calculation of the estimated strength of
the concrete.
The test must meet the following conditions:
1) the surface of the test area is marked with location boundaries
for test points with a minimum size of 100 x 100 mm2
2) the rough surface of the test area must be finely ground before
testing;
3) test areas on structures that are more than six months old must
be ground flat to a depth of 5 mm before testing, if the test results
are to be compared with the test results of concrete that is
younger.

4. Work steps
1. Prepare samples of concrete blocks of known weight and size after
soaking for 1 week (7 days).
2. Clean the surface of the concrete block to be tested
3. Touch the tip of the launcher to the surface of the test point in a
position perpendicular to the test plane
4. Press the concrete hammer slowly in a direction perpendicular to the
test area until a blow occurs at the test point
5. Read the test results
6. Perform 8 blows on the test object at different points with a close
distance of 25mm between the blow points.
7. Record all reading values and carry out data analysis.

8. Conclusion
From the initial cement bonding experiment, the following
conclusions can be drawn :
1. From the experiment, the maximum stress value is 21,80725 and
the minimum stress is 15,91387
2. The results of the hammer test can be used to determine the
compressive strength value of concrete for controlling concrete
quality in the field
9. Suggestion
1. Before testing the concrete, the surface should be sanded first
2. The test is carried out on a flat surface
3. When using the test equipment, it must be slightly aligned with the
test material
10. Constraint
1. The tools used are limited
2. The surface is uneven so the results obtained are less accurate
