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 ...

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 ...

This latest accomplishment joins the company’s previously secured ASTM certifications, enhancing the features and expanding the end-uses for its microalgae-based bio-cement and bio-concrete. BOULDER, ...

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 ...
