4 | Hollow sounding |

Hollow sounding Explanation: Sounding is the term for testing concrete (and rock, etc.) knocking with a hammer or other tool. This reference says it simply. "Sounding involves striking the concrete surface and interpreting the sound produced. Solid concrete will produce a ringing sound, while concrete that is spalled, delaminated, or contains voids will produce a flat or hollow sound." Some reading in any case. Example sentence(s):
