Aggregate abrasion value Test and Report

Objective and Significance: – Abrasion Test is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation and disintegration. While using the aggregates in construction of roads, then they get wear out due to Traffic. Tires of vehicles and small soil particles on road creates abrasion to the road. This causes wearing out […]

Water Absorption test of aggregates

Objectives and Significance:- Water absorption gives an idea on the internal structure of aggregate. Aggregates having more absorption are more porous in nature and are generally considered unsuitable, unless found to be acceptable based on strength, impact and hardness tests. Aim: – Aim of this test is to determine the water absorption of coarse aggregates.

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test

Objectives and significance: – Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test is non destructive test like Rebound Hammer Test.  An ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test is an in-situ, nondestructive test to check the quality of concrete. he strength and quality of concrete or rock is assessed by measuring the velocity of an ultrasonic pulse passing through a concrete structure. It is used for Understanding Homogeneity
