Analytic Solution of Inverse Regression Equation for Evaluating Concrete Strength of Building Materials: Experimental and Application

The basic theory of the rebound method is introduced, and analytic solution of inverse regression equation for evaluating concrete strength of building materials is presented herein based on the inverse regression model. Furthermore, two engineering examples are given, satisfactory results are obtained using the analysis method. The analysis method can be also used to gain the presumption of strength for others building materials and solutions of other inverse regression models.
