The Turner-Sclerometer test consists of measuring the amount of load required to make a scratch. [1] [2] In test a weighted diamond point is drawn, once forward and once backward, over the smooth surface of the material to be tested. The hardness number is the weight in grams required to produce a standard scratch.
Jesse Besser (1882–1970) was an inventor and manufacturer from Alpena in the U.S. state of Michigan.He is best known for inventing, and supervising a series of improvements to, a tamping machine used to rapidly press wet, flexible concrete into blocks, thereby making possible a new generation of applications in masonry construction.
The test hammer hits the concrete at a defined energy. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. By reference to a conversion chart, the rebound value can be used to determine the concrete's compressive strength. When conducting the test, the hammer should be held at right angles to the ...

Large Xblocs (8.0 m 3 or 280 cu ft) on a trial placement area. An Xbloc is a wave-dissipating concrete block (or "armour unit") designed to protect shores, harbour walls, seawalls, breakwaters and other coastal structures from the direct impact of incoming waves.
Five plays later, Aaron Jones extended the Vikings lead to 24-10 with a 2-yard touchdown run. Chicago eventually answered with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and the game-tying field goal as ...
The test is carried out using a metal mould in the shape of a conical frustum known as a slump cone or Abrams cone, that is open at both ends and has attached handles.The tool typically has an internal diameter of 100 millimetres (3.9 in) at the top and of 200 millimetres (7.9 in) at the bottom with a height of 305 millimetres (12.0 in).The cone is placed on a hard non-absorbent surface.
Troy Aikman knows the pressures that Caleb Williams faces in his rookie year with the Chicago Bears, and that's why he's concerned about the young quarterback's confidence.
