Vee Bee Consistometer test – Workability of concrete

Vee Bee consistometer test determines the workability of concrete. Workability depends on the compactability, stability, finishing ability of the concrete. Vee- Bee test is for finding workability of concrete.

Compaction factor test – Workability of concrete-Test procedure

Compaction factor test is conducted to determine the workability of the concrete. Compaction factor test is a lab test and is generally conducted on concrete samples having very low workability.

Shape tests on Coarse Aggregates- Flakiness index test and Elongation Index Tests.

Shape test on coarse aggregates constitutes flakiness Index and elongation index tests. The particle size and shape of aggregate is one of the major factors affecting the quality of the concrete.

Soundness test on Aggregate | Sample selection and procedure

Soundness test determines the disintegration of aggregates due to weathering. This includes freezing, thawing, marine condition etc. However, the weak and porous aggregate shows a change in weight during this soundness test.

What is Prefabrication in construction? Advantages and Disadvantages

Prefabricated construction, or “prefab,” is a method of construction that  uses components made off-site in a factory, which are then transported put together on-site to create a structure. Prefabrication is an amazing technology that helps to reduce time and have many more benefits.

Aggregate crushing test to find Strength of aggregate

Aggregate crushing test is done to find out the strength of aggregate which is the fundamental and essential components of concrete, flexible pavements, etc. More than 70 to 80 per cent of the volume of concrete is aggregate. Aggregates are a very important component of concrete, so the quality really matters when it comes to aggregates. Furthermore, their uses include flexible pavements, railway ballast, etc.
