So that it may be certain that a concrete specimen’s mechanical properties reach the strength and deflection imperatives for its intended use, concrete specimens with specific dimensions are prepared, ...

Engineers have developed a new test that can predict the durability of cement in seconds to minutes -- rather than the hours it takes using current methods. The test measures the behavior of water ...

Consider the following scenarios for a project on which the specified compressive strength (fc’) is 3,500 psi at 28 days. These are all examples of incorrect interpretations of the acceptance criteria ...

Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

Some basic NDT techniques utilized to assess concrete structures include:Once concrete has hardened, it is important to determine whether the final structure is suitable for its designated use. To do ...
