The aggregates are graded as fine and coarse aggregate based on the grain size. When the aggregate size is greater than 4.75mm is called coarse aggregate, and less than 4.75mm is called fine aggregate. The sieve analysis test will do the grading of aggregates. What is a sieve analysis test?…

The bearing capacity of the soil determines the type of foundation selection.  The maximum capacity of the soil that supports the structural load without any shear failure or settlement is called the bearing capacity of the soil. It is calculated in load per unit area. One of the tests that…

The self compaction concrete is the high fluidity concrete. It is used where the location is congested by reinforcement and no possibility of compaction of concrete by mechanically or manually.  We have already discussed the L box test, which is used to determine the workability of Self-compacting concrete. What is…

Is there any method being used to test the compressive strength of the concrete without destructing?  Yes, there is. The Rebound hammer test (Non-destructive test) is widely used to determine the compressive strength of the concrete elements, also called as Schmidt hammer test.  We have already discussed some of the…
