Semi-destructive test - Common Semi-Destructive Testing Method includes core extraction by core drilling from the structure, The cores are then tested in a laboratory for compressive strength. This is considered the most accurate method.
Semi-destructive testing (SDT) is a reliable approach used to assess the strength, quality, and durability of construction materials—primarily concrete and timber—while causing only minor and repairable damage to the structure.
These tests provide more accurate in-situ data compared to non-destructive methods, while avoiding the extensive damage associated with fully destructive testing. SDT plays a critical role in evaluating existing structures, ensuring safety, and supporting maintenance or rehabilitation decisions.
