Abstract: The paper deals with measuring results owing to utility of selected non-destructive methods of testing paving blocks (ultrasonic pulse method (UPM) and Schmidt impact hammers) and blended cements (UPM) for strength. Tried testing methods, procedures of results evaluation as well as calibration relations for detection of material strength from parameter of non-destructive testing are presented. Calibration relations show very tight correlation between testing parameter and the relevant strength. Real utility of NDT methods for strength testing of paving blocks and cements is proved. Thus, preconditions for usage for rationalisation of experimental works, particularly connected with development of cements, are available.
