  2. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

    Integral damp proofing in concrete involves adding materials to the concrete mix to make the concrete itself impermeable. [ 4 ] Surface suppressant coating with thin water proof materials such as epoxy resin for resistance to non-pressurized moisture such as rain water or a coating of cement sprayed on such as shotcrete which can resist water ...

  3. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    Rain penetration is most often associated with single-skin walls, but can also occur through cavity walls - e.g. by tracking across wall ties. [ 1 ] Single-skin brick walls of standard thickness (9 inches) have been considered to provide inadequate resistance to rain penetration for many years, which is why cavity wall construction is now ...

  4. Ultrasonic pulse velocity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_pulse_velocity_test

    A procedure for ultrasonic testing is outlined in ASTM C597 - 09. [9] In India, till 2018 ultrasonic testing was conducted according to IS 13311-1992.From 2018, procedure and specification for Ultrasonic pulse velocity test is outlined in IS 516 Part 5:Non destructive testing of concrete Section 1:Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing. This test ...

  5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    Materials have a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) that is established by standard test methods. One common set of units is g/m 2 ·day or g/100in 2 ·day. Permeability can be reported in perms , a measure of the rate of transfer of water vapor through a material (1.0 US perm = 1.0 grain/square-foot·hour· inch of mercury ≈ 57 SI perm ...

  6. Ground-penetrating radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar

    Depth penetration of this kind of radar is rather small (20–30 cm), but lateral resolution is enough to discriminate different types of landmines in the soil, or cavities, defects, bugging devices, or other hidden objects in walls, floors, and structural elements. [49] [50] GPR is used on vehicles for high-speed road survey and landmine ...

  7. Crosshole sonic logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosshole_sonic_logging

    Crosshole sonic logging (CSL) is a method to determine the structural integrity of drilled shafts and other concrete piles. The CSL method is considered to be more accurate than sonic echo testing in the determination of structural soundness of concrete within the drilled shaft inside of the rebar cage. This method provides little indication of ...

  8. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Reinforcement for use in concrete construction is subject to the requirements of Australian Standards AS3600 (Concrete Structures) and AS/NZS4671 (Steel Reinforcing for Concrete). There are other standards that apply to testing, welding and galvanizing. The designation of reinforcement is defined in AS/NZS4671 using the following formats:

  9. Floor slip resistance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_slip_resistance_testing

    America's ANSI A326.3 test standard is for use of the BOT-3000E digital tribometer. The ANSI A137.1 slip resistance test method preceded ANSI A326.3 [12] and was essentially the same test method. In 2021, ANSI A326.3 was updated to give additional MINIMUM DCOF values for barefoot areas, inclined floors, and outdoor flooring, but many other ...
