Property Testing Flashcards
What is a relevantCompression strength?
Compressive strength test- is a mechanical strength test measuring the maximum load a material can beat before fracturing
-the material is usually placed in a cube, prism or cylinder and a load is applied gradually until measured fracture
What is a relevant tensile strength test?
Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure
What is a relevant Workability or ease of placement test?
Different Test Methods for Workability Measurement
Depending upon the water cement ratio in the concrete mix, the workability may be determined by the following three methods.
-Slump Test. Compaction Factor Test. Vee-bee Consistometer Test
What is a Relevant test for particle distribution?
Different Test Methods for Workability Measurement
Depending upon the water cement ratio in the concrete mix, the workability may be determined by the following three methods. Slump Test. Compaction Factor Test. Vee-bee Consistometer Test
What is a relevant test for density?
The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density.
What is a relevant water content test ?
The amount of water is determined by subtracting the dry weight from the initial weight, and the moisture content is then calculated as the amount of water divided by the dry weight or total weight, depending on the reporting method. Even this simple loss-on-drying method is mined with potential variability traps.
What is a relevant temperature susceptibility test?
Flash and Fire Point Tests on Bitumen
Fire point of bitumen is defined as the point of lowest temperature at which the bitumen ignites and burns at least for 5 second under specific conditions of test.
What is a relevant Young’s modulus test?
Young’s modulus can be tested through mathematics. Using a graph you can determine wether a material shows elasticity
