Most of the countries are placed in a seismic
zone which has high activity and has extremely experienced large-scale losses
due to several destructive earthquakes such as Turkey. Therefore, governments
are seriously trying to produce the projects that will significantly reduce the
earthquake effects. The most important part of these projects is urban
regeneration. Within the context of urban regeneration activities, renewal of
the buildings which have low earthquake-resistant is targeted. While the
earthquake resistance level of a building is decided, one of the important
steps is the determination of the strength of the building materials. There are
many standard NDT methods that will be able to be used to determine the
compressive strength. However, it is necessary to choose the appropriate
methods in order to quickly and reliably estimate the strength properties of
the materials. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum NDT method
for the urban regeneration. So, feasibility analysis was carried out for the
standard NDT methods, and the performance of these methods was evaluated based
on the cost and the accuracy. The result is the requirement new NDT method
which is the practical and efficient for the large-scale projects such as urban
regeneration.
