Assessment of cement hydration and strength development in agro-waste concrete using destructive and non-destructive techniques

Key Points

• Strength development was notably influenced by cement hydration rates, affecting overall performance.
• Using both destructive and non-destructive techniques provided a comprehensive evaluation of concrete quality.
• Assessment involved real-world samples, showing promise for sustainable construction materials.
• Non-destructive methods may offer advantages for future monitoring, enhancing long-term sustainability.
