The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant workers have been testing and placing self-consolidating concrete, or SCC, that will be used in the walls of the Explosive Containment Room of the ...

A lack of productivity on site is one of the most frustrating issues facing the construction industry today. Think about the hours you spend in a single day with no choice but to sit around and wait.

Concrete suppliers and contractors are sometimes accused of producing or placing low-strength concrete. While low-strength concrete does occasionally occur, many times reported cylinder strengths are ...
