When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, it’s important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule. While some testing ...

This video illustrates a flexural test performed on a fiber-reinforced concrete beams using a universal testing machine from ADMET. ASTM C1609 is a standard test method used to determine the flexural ...

Maturity and compressive strength of concrete is tested through both destructive and non-destructive methods. Destructive test involve damaging some of an element or the structure. Some would like to ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

Consider the following scenarios for a project on which the specified compressive strength (fc’) is 3,500 psi at 28 days. These are all examples of incorrect interpretations of the acceptance criteria ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...
