Engineers have developed a new test that can predict the durability of cement in seconds to minutes -- rather than the hours it takes using current methods. The test measures the behavior of water ...

Concrete is the most used construction material in the whole world. More than that, behind water, it’s the most used material, all categories combined. Worldwide, about 10 billion tons of concrete are ...

So that it may be certain that a concrete specimen’s mechanical properties reach the strength and deflection imperatives for its intended use, concrete specimens with specific dimensions are prepared, ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

In this interview, AZoM speaks to Paul Haigh, Product Manager at CARBOLITE, about the QA of raw materials process testing within the cement industry. Can you start by giving our readers an overview of ...

Concrete is an indispensable construction material and popular due its durability, cost-effectiveness, fire resistance, and expedited construction properties. Concrete is made by combining several ...
