Rebound Hammer Test (Schmidt Hammer Test) on Hardened Concrete It is a non-destructive test performed on hardened concrete. A spring-loaded mass hits the concrete's surface and scale measures how far the mass rebounds. The higher the rebound, the harder the concrete's surface, and the greater the concrete's strength.

 — Tests for Concrete to be performed on site. Tests are held at 28 days, 7 days and 3 days. Constituent of mix should be such that concrete can be transported, placed and finished easily without segregation. Workability – it is a property of fresh concrete and affects the finished product as it affects compaction.

Curing also provides durability, water tightness, abrasion resistance, volume stability, resistance to freeze-thaw and resistance to de-icing chemicals 3 ways for curing: 1. Maintaining the presence of water by immersion, ponding, spraying, fogging, or wet coverings 2. Preventing loss of mixing water by sealing surface - Tactics used are plastic …

 — The diverse requirements of transportability, compatibility, mobility, stability, mixability, playability, and finish ability of fresh concrete mentioned above are collectively referred.. To as workability. The workability of fresh concrete is thus a composite property.It is difficult to define precisely all the aspects of the workability in a single definition.

The document discusses properties of fresh concrete, including consistency tests. It focuses on explaining the slump test, which measures concrete's workability and consistency. The slump test involves filling a slump cone …

mould is the test block. A) INITIAL SETTING TIME Place the test block under the rod bearing the needle. Lower the needle gently in order to make contact with the surface of the cement paste and release quickly, allowing it to penetrate the test block. Repeat the procedure till the needle fails to pierce the test block to a point 5.0 ± 0.5mm

 — The test method, reported by Price (1996), exploits the ability to monitor the change in buoyancy of a plate supported by a liquid and air bubbles. The test involves injecting a sample of fresh concrete into a viscous liquid at the base of a column of water. Entrained air bubbles are released and rise through the column where they strike a plate.

It is an indication of the fluidity or wetness of a mix and is measured by the slump test. Fresh concrete is placed in a metal cone. When the cone is removed, the concrete slumps a certain amount, depending on how fluid it is. A wet, soft mix slumps more than a drier, stiffer one. A high-slump concrete is one that is very fluid, and a low-slump ...

 — Follow procedures given in ASTM C 172 to ensure the sample is truly representative of the freshly mixed concrete being tested.
