Thus those measurements consist on following the evolution of frequency Available online dependent attenuation coefficient during cementitious material age. Four stages can be identified 11 April 2019 Keywords on the attenuation coefficient vs. mortar age graphs indicating that the development of the Non-destructive testing attenuation parameter is closely related to the setting and the hardening phenomena. Also the Ultrasound ultrasound histograms representing the evolution of the different echoes backscattered by the Pulse echo method media of the container filled with cementitious material s samples were characterized in order to Mortar assess the attenuative effect of alkaline accelerator and its dosage during the setting and the Alkaline Accelerator hardening period. Thus the combined use of ultrasound P-wave measured density and young modulus parameters results in a comprehensive ultrasound method that gives a more effective picture of the void volume and resistivity of the accelerated cementitious materials. Ultrasound P- waves were generated using a 1 MHz central
