Lesson 2 Flashcards
Usually done before, during and after construction.
Sampling and testing of materials in construction of structures
It maybe destructive or non-destructive if the sample or specimen of materials is not rendered unusable or not following the standard procedure for the test.
Testing
In ____________________ proper quality control assurance must be observed such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), proper receiving, right storage and preparation of materials.
testing materials
Examples of proper quality control assurance that must be observed in testing materials.
- personal protective equipment (PPE)
- proper receiving
- right storage
- preparation of materials
True or False
It is impossible to predict the properties and strength of the lot from the test results from the sample using statistical procedures.
False ; POSSIBLE
Since it is possible to predict the properties and strength of the lot from the test results from the sample using statistical procedures, what are the means to guarantee the conformity and standard specifications as specified for a particular test?
maintaining standard conditions for test like:
- temperature
- rate of loading
- moisture content
Maintaining standard conditions for test like temperature, rate of loading, moisture content, etc., as specified for a particular test to guarantee the _____________ and ____________.
conformity and standard specifications
The most important way to ensure the quality and specification of materials used in construction.
sampling and testing
It is by doing the standard procedure test and using appropriate apparatus or instruments and equipment.
sampling and testing
Examples of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used in Testing of Materials (GLS)
- Gloves
- Laboratory Gown
- Safety Goggle
are used to protect hands against from possible injury by lifting rough and heavy weight material, scratching or abrasion or chemicals and cold or heat
Gloves
is used to protect the eyes from particulates such as water or chemicals from striking; and from splitting fragments of sample materials.
Safety goggle
is used to protect the skin from possible accidental spills of chemicals
Laboratory gown
