A Bibliometric Review Approach to the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Compressive Strength

Bibliometric analysis is an interesting statistical tool for studying the state of the art in any field of scientific knowledge and identifying the information needed for various purposes. Therefore, in this paper we uncover the synthesis between Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Compressive Strength (CS) parameters, also to classify research trends knowledge gaps that can be treated in future research on UPV-CS. The maps of publication are made by a Bibliometric analyzes in order to determine the use of these techniques for the control of cementitious structures in the research subjects of the two topics separately and jointly on the basis of the identified academic publications from Scopus (i.e. 3018 CS Articles, 126 UPV Articles and 82 UPV-CS Articles). This comparison of two parameters that describe the durability of materials used in literature reviews allows the authors to focus on identifying the most influential contributors to research advances in Civil Engineering field.
