What are Different Chemical Tests on Concrete Structures?
Chemical analysis of concrete can provide extremely useful information regarding the causes of failure of concrete. The tests most frequently carried out chemical tests on concrete structures are: Depth of carbonation Chloride content Cement content Sulphate content Type of cement ...
Pullout Tests On Hardened Concrete
What is pullout tests on hardened concrete? The fundamental principle behind pull out testing is that the test equipment designed to a specific geometry will produce results (pull-out forces) that closely correlate to the compressive strength of concrete. This correlation ...
Soil Tests Required for Shallow and Raft Foundations
Soil Tests for Shallow and Raft Foundations Soil tests required to determine safe bearing capacity of shallow foundations and raft foundations are discussed here. These tests are as per IS 6403 – 1981. Apart from ascertaining the highest level ever ...
Compressive Strength of Concrete Cylinders
The compressive strength of the concrete cylinder is one of the most common performance measures performed by the engineers in the structural design. Here, the compressive strength of concrete cylinders is determined by applying continuous load over the cylinder until ...
Core Sampling and Testing of Concrete and Factors Affecting Strength
Concrete cores are used for testing of actual properties of concrete in existing structures such as strength, permeability, chemical analysis, carbonation etc. Sampling of concrete cores and testing its strength is described. While Rebound Hammer, CAPO/Pullout, Windsor probe and ultrasonic ...
Compressive Strength Test on Bricks
Compressive strength test on bricks are carried out to determine the load carrying capacity of bricks under compression with the help of compression testing machine. Bricks are generally used for construction of load bearing masonry walls, columns and footings. These ...
Dry Density of Soil by Core Cutter Method for Soil Compaction
Dry Density of Soil by Core Cutter Method Cylindrical core cutters of 130mm long and 100mm diameter are used for testing the in-situ compaction of cohesive and clay soils placed as fill. By using core cutter method, bulk density of ...
