  2. Flow table test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_table_test

    The flow table test or slump-flow test is a method to determine consistency of fresh concrete. Flow table test is also used to identify transportable moisture limit of solid bulk cargoes. [ 1 ] It is used primarily for assessing concrete that is too fluid (workable) to be measured using the slump test , because the concrete will not retain its ...

  3. Concrete slump test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slump_test

    The ASTM standards also regulate the rigidity of the cone. It states in the procedure that when the cone is removed, it should be lifted up vertically, without any rotational movement at all. [6] The concrete slump test is known as "Standard Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete" and carries the code (ASTM C 143) or (AASHTO T 119).

  4. Self-consolidating concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-consolidating_concrete

    Self-consolidating concrete or self-compacting concrete (SCC) [1] is a concrete mix which has a low yield stress, high deformability, good segregation resistance (prevents separation of particles in the mix), and moderate viscosity (necessary to ensure uniform suspension of solid particles during transportation, placement (without external compaction), and thereafter until the concrete sets).

  5. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    For practical immediate considerations, it is incumbent to accurately test the fundamental properties of concrete in its fresh, plastic state. Field cured concrete in cubic steel molds (Greece) Concrete is typically sampled while being placed, with testing protocols requiring that test samples be cured under laboratory conditions (standard cured).

  6. Los Angeles abrasion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_abrasion_test

    The federal standard for LA abrasion testing was formally adopted by the ASTM in 1937. [10] Decades later, field studies found that the LA test results do not always correlate with reality, thus engineers outside of the United States developed different national standards like the French wet micro-Deval procedure or the British Standard 812. [1]

  7. Water–cement ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–cement_ratio

    However, a fresh concrete with a w/c ratio of 0.35 may not mix thoroughly, and may not flow well enough to be correctly placed and to fill all the voids in the forms, especially in the case of a dense steel reinforcement. More water is therefore used than is chemically and physically necessary to react with cement.

  8. Dynamic load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_load_testing

    Dynamic load testing (or dynamic loading) is a method to assess a pile's bearing capacity by applying a dynamic load to the pile head (a falling mass) while recording acceleration and strain on the pile head. Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber ...
