Determine Splitting Tensile Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens Objective: This method covers the determination of the splitting tensile strength of cylindrical concrete specimens Reference: IS: 516 – 1959,
FLEXURAL STRENGTH TEST OF CONCRETE Objective To determine the Flexural Strength of Concrete, which comes into play when a road slab with inadequate sub-grade support is subjected to
Making of Test Cubes From Fresh Concrete IS-456 has laid down the acceptance criteria of quality concrete. In all the cases, the 28-days compressive strength shall alone be
Objective To determine the Flexural Strength of Concrete, which comes into play when a road slab with inadequate sub-grade support is subjected to wheel loads and / or
Aim This test method describes the procedure for determining the drying shrinkage or change in length of concrete specimen due to changes in moisture content. Apparatus A length
Factors Affecting Strength Test Results of Concrete Compressive strength is the most important property of concrete. The compressive strength of concrete is determined in the laboratory in controlled
Capping of Concrete Cylinders Capping is required to give a smooth surface for applying compressive load to concrete cylinders. Only cylindrical concrete test specimens are capped using appropriate
Objective The tests are required to determine the strength of concrete and therefore its suitability for the job. Reference Standards IS : 516-1959 – Methods of tests for strength
Objective Normally, the strength of concrete is found out after 7 days and 28 days. For some construction activities, it may be too late and need to know
