The density test is an easy and essential step in ensuring the concrete has all of the essential characteristics for successful results. In our latest blog, we discuss the importance of measuring the density/unit weight of fresh concrete with every set of concrete strength samples.
A key element of successful concrete testing is selecting the right representative sample. This blog post covers standard practices for concrete sampling and how to optimize your concrete testing process.
Concrete slump testing is the most common test performed on fresh concrete for any application. It is a significant factor when evaluating a concrete batch's compliance with the approved mix design and an eleventh-hour check of its suitability for placement. For this post, we focus on the slump test, how to perform it properly, and the best testing equipment to use.
Concrete workability is used to describe how easily freshly mixed concrete can be mixed, placed, consolidated, and finished with minimal loss of homogeneity. Workability directly impacts the strength, quality, appearance, and cost of labor for placement and finishing operations. How can we measure workability? This blog post outlines everything you need to know about concrete workability, factors that can affect it, and helpful equipment and tests.
