Mar 30, 2012 The method for determining the rebound number of hardened concrete is given in ASTM C805. The uses of the rebound hammer are given in Section 5.1 of C805, which states that “this test method is applicable to assess the in-place uniformity of the concrete, to delineate regions in a structure of poorer quality or deteriorated concrete, and to estimate strength.”


The program requires a working knowledge of the following ASTM test methods and practices: C1064/C1064M—Temperature of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete; C172/C172M—Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete; C143/C143M—Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete; C138/C138M—Density (Unit Weight), Yield, and Air Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete

The test methods should be simple, direct and convenient to apply. How to determine the workability of concrete? One of the purposes of testing hardened concrete is to confirm that the concrete used at site has developed the required strength. As the hardening of the concrete

Feb 12, 2020 These test results can be used to determine whether repairs should be made to a structure or if the integrity of the structure is sufficient as is. The following is a list of 5 non-destructive testing methods for concrete

Method of Testing Setting Time of Concrete: The concrete setting time is determined by using a penetrometer test. This test is conducted as per IS 8142 of 1976 and ASTM C – 403. Setting Time of Concrete. In this test, an apparatus used is having a minimum lateral dimension about 150mm and depth is also 150mm. To perform this test

The Disadvantage of UPV testing – The method is subjective to the presence of voids, cracks, and rebar and there are not enough results to establish the reliability of this method in the field. Combined Methods. Combined methods include a combination of the above-mentioned methods for estimating the on-site strength of concrete.

Method # 2. Penetration Resistance Test: During 1964-66, a technique or test was developed for concrete testing in the laboratory as well as in-situ. Commercially this test is called as Windsor probe test. The strength of the concrete

Concrete is the oldest and most important construction material in the world. Testing of the concrete specimen plays and important role to know about the strength, durability and condition of the structure. The work will present a detailed comparison between the destructive tests and non-destructive methods.

Concrete Test Specimens in the Field. For estimating the in-place concrete strength, ASTM C 31 provides procedures forfield-curedspecimens. Cylindrical specimens are tested in accordance with ASTM C 39, Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens. A test

Non-destructive tests (NDT) are test methods which are used to examine the hardened concrete structure for their suitability for its intended use without interfering in any way with the integrity of the

ASTM's cement and concrete standards are instrumental in the evaluation and testing of concrete, cement, and aggregates. Concrete can have different properties depending upon the mixture that is

It is vitally important to test your concrete slab's moisture before installing flooring over it. A definitive test that measures the amount of moisture released from the concrete requires a calcium chloride kit or a relative humidity meter.Testing with either method
