A test method is presented that measures the w/cm of the fresh concrete. Testing was performed for 231 laboratory mixtures and 27 field mixtures. The mixtures used 17 coarse aggregates and 6 fine aggregates with specific gravities between 2.42 and 2.85 and absorption between 0.20 and 4.69%. The method uses information about the mass …
PROCEDUR E: •For first trial, take about 500gms of cement & water of 24%by weight of cement. •Fill it in Vicat's mould with in 3-5min. •After filling, shake the mould to expel air. •A standard plunger, 10 mm diameter, 50 mm long is attached and brought down to touch the surface of the paste and quickly released.

In testing, the aim is to determine quality. The testing of concrete, concrete masonry, and their reinforcement is commonly used by design professionals during structural assessment and retrofit planning. The testing of materials may be performed to supply routine information on the quality of a products (control testing), to develop new …
Concrete Testing is one of the most essential procedures in identifying the high top quality of tangible. These examining come in many types at various condition of tangible. – A …
The Kelly ball penetration test measures the penetration of a 30 lb. hemisphere into fresh concrete. This test can be performed on concrete in a buggy, open truck, or in form if they are not too narrow. It can be compared to the slump test for a measure of concrete consistency. Summary . All tests are empirical and are not based on any ...

5.1 TEST METHODS 5.1.1 Testing Fresh Concrete Testing of fresh EOT concrete entails measuring worka- bility, air content, and maturity. Workability is most often assessed through the slump test (AASHTO T 119), with a desired range in slump for EOT concrete often specified between 50 and 150 mm (2 to 6 in.).

Testing fresh concrete. Fresh concrete tests usually are run in conjunction with a set of compressive strength tests (typically compressive strength cylinders). Fresh concrete tests should be done on each truck of ready-mix concrete, or for larger concrete pours the testing can be spaced out at a regular interval. For instance, every three ...

Consistency of Concrete Consistency is the aspect of workability related to the flow characteristics of fresh concrete. It is an indication of the fluidity or wetness of a mix and is measured by the slump test. Fresh concrete is placed in a metal cone. When the cone is removed, the concrete slumps a certain amount, depending on how fluid it is.

The slump test (ASTM C 143) m e a s u res concrete consistency, or the ability of fresh concrete to flow. Slump is commonly mistaken as a m e a s u r e of workability—the ease in which fresh concrete can be placed, consolidated, and finished. Figure 2. Remove the slump mold uniformly; don't use a twisting or jerking motion. Note lines on mold
