SPECIFIC GRAVITY TEST ON BITUMEN
HOW TO CHECK QUALITY OF CEMENT ON SITE?
It is necessary to check the quality of cement on site at the time of preliminary inspection. It is not possible to check all the engineering qualities of cement on site but there exist some field test which gives us a rough idea of quality of cement. While on site we can perform these field tests to judge the quality of cement. These field tests are as follows:
- Date of packing
- Colour
- Rubbing
- Hand Insertion
- Float Test
- Smell Test
- Presence of lumps
- Shape Test
- Strength Test
1. Date of Packing
Date of manufacture should be seen on the bag. It is important because the strength of cement reduces with age.
2. Colour
The cement should be uniform in colour. In general the colour of cement is grey with a light greenish shade. The colour of cement gives an indication of excess lime or clay and the degree of burning.
3. Rubbing
Take a pinch of cement between fingers and rub it. It should feel smooth while rubbing. If it is rough, that means adulteration with sand.
4. Hand Insertion
Thrust your hand into the cement bag and it should give cool feeling. It indicates that no hydration reaction is taking place in the bag.
5. Float test
Throw a small quantity of cement in a bucket of water. It should sink and should not float on the surface.
6. Smell Test
Take a pinch of cement and smell it. If the cement contains too much of pounded clay and silt as an adulterant, the paste will give an earthy smell.
7. Presence of Lumps
Open the bag and see that lumps should not be present in the bag. It will ensure that no setting has taken place.
8. Shape Test
Take 100g of cement and make a stiff paste. Prepare a cake with sharp edges and put on the glass plate. Immerse this plate in water. Observe that the shape shouldn’t get disturbed while settling. It should be able to set and attain strength. Cement is capable of setting under water also and that is why it is also called ‘Hydraulic Cement’.
9. Strength Test
A block of cement 25 mm*25 mm and 200 mm long is prepared and it is immersed for 7 days in water. It is then placed on supports 15000 mm apart and it is loaded with a weight of 340 N. the block should not show any sign of failure.
HOW TO CAP CONCRETE CYLINDERS? (4 METHODS OF CAPPING)
Capping of Concrete Cylinders
Capping is required to give a smooth surface for applying compressive load to concrete cylinders. Only cylindrical concrete test specimens are capped using appropriate method. When the ends of cylindrical test specimens are not plane within 0.05 mm, it is required to cap those test specimens. The capped surfaces should be at right angles to the axis of the specimens. After capping the specimen, check the plainness of cap by means of a straight edge and feeler gauge, making a minimum of three measurements on different diameters. Caps are made as thin as practicable and it should not get damaged when the specimen is tested.
We can use any one of the following 4 methods for capping the cylindrical concrete test specimen.
- Neat cement capping
- Sulphur capping
- Gypsum plaster capping
- Cement mortar capping
1. Neat Cement Capping
- Prepare a stiff cement paste by mixing cement & water at a desired water/cement ratio.
- Leave it for 2 to 4 hours in order to avoid the tendency of the cap to shrink.
- Using a scoop, place some amount of stiff neat cement paste on top of the cylindrical test specimen.
- Take a glass plate having thickness not less than 6.5 mm and diameter at least 25 mm larger than the diameter of the test specimen.
- Using this glass plate, press down the stiff cement paste by giving the plate a rotary motion until it makes complete contact with the rim of the mould. Before doing this, apply a thin layer of oil or grease on the glass plate to avoid adhesion of the paste with the glass plate.
- While giving a rotary motion to the plate, make sure that the plate remains parallel to the end surface at all times. After preparing the cap leave it for some time to become hard.
- Repeat the same procedure to cap the other end of the cylindrical test specimen.
Note
- This type of capping is done after 4 hours of molding the concrete, so that the concrete completely settle down in the mould.
- Cement paste should have the desired strength so that the caps will not get damaged while applying load.
2. Sulphur Capping
- Heat the sulphur compound (consisting of 2 to 3 parts of sulphur to 1 part of inert filler) at an appropriate temperature, until it reaches a pouring consistency.
- Take a scoop of melted sulphur and pour it in the cap mould. Before doing this, apply a thin layer of oil or grease on the cap mould to avoid adhesion of the liquid sulphur with the cap mould.
- Immediately after that, put one end of the cylindrical test specimen into the cap mould containing liquid sulphur and press it down. Hold it in this position until the sulphur becomes hard.
- After that, tap the cap mould downward and remove the cylinder from the cap mould.
- Repeat the same procedure to cap the other end of the cylindrical test specimen.
Note
- This type of capping is done after removing the concrete cylinder from the mould.
3. Gypsum Plaster Capping
- Prepare a stiff plaster by mixing gypsum & water at a desired ratio. While preparing the paste mix it well enough. This will help gypsum to gain strength.
- Using a scoop, place some amount of gypsum plaster on top of the cylindrical test specimen.
- Take a glass plate having thickness not less than 6.5 mm and diameter at least 25 mm larger than the diameter of the test specimen.
- Using this glass plate, press down the stiff gypsum plaster by giving the plate a rotary motion until it makes complete contact with the rim of the mould. Before doing this, apply a thin layer of oil or grease on the glass plate to avoid adhesion of the plaster with the glass plate.
- While giving a rotary motion to the plate, make sure that the plate remains parallel to the end surface at all times. After preparing the cap leave it for 20 to 30 minutes to become hard.
- Repeat the same procedure to cap the other end of the cylindrical test specimen.
Note
- This type of capping is done after removing the concrete cylinder from the mould.
4. Cement Mortar Capping
- Prepare a mortar using cement similar to that used in the concrete and sand which passes 300 micron sieve and retained 150 micron sieve. The mortar should have a water/cement ratio not higher than that of the concrete of which the specimen is made.
- If any free water has collected on the surface of the specimen, then remove it with a sponge, or blotting paper or other suitable absorbent material.
- Prepare the cap by applying mortar firmly on the specimen and compact it with a trowel to a slightly convex surface above the edges of mould.
- Then using a glass plate, press down the cap so formed, with a rotary motion until it makes complete contact with the rim of the mould. Apply a thin layer of oil or grease on the glass plate to avoid adhesion of mortar with the plate.
- Left the glass plate in position until the specimen is removed from the mould.
Note
- This type of capping is done after 4 hours of molding the concrete, so that the concrete completely settle down in the mould.
WHAT IS NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF CONCRETE & VARIOUS NDT TEST METHODS?
Non-Destructive Testing of Concrete
(NDT on Concrete)
Non destructive test is a method of testing existing concrete structures to assess the strength and durability of concrete structure. In the non destructive method of testing, without loading the specimen to failure (i.e. without destructing the concrete) we can measure strength of concrete. Now days this method has become a part of quality control process. This method of testing also helps us to investigate crack depth, micro cracks and deterioration of concrete.
Non destructive testing of concrete is a very simple method of testing but it requires skilled and experienced persons having some special knowledge to interpret and analyze test results.
Different Methods of Non-Destructive Testing of Concrete
Various non-destructive methods of testing concrete have been developed to analyze properties of hardened concrete, which are given below.
1. Surface Hardness Test
These are of indentation type, include the Williams testing pistol and impact hammers, and are used only for estimation of concrete strength.
2. Rebound Hammer Test
The rebound hammer test measures the elastic rebound of concrete and is primarily used for estimation of concrete strength and for comparative investigation.
3. Penetration and Pullout Techniques
These include the use of the simbi hammer, spit pins, the Windsor probe, and the pullout test. These measure the penetration and pullout resistance of concrete and are used for strength estimation, but they can also be used for comparative studies.
4. Dynamic or Vibration Tests
These include resonant frequency and mechanical sonic and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods. These are used to evaluate durability and uniformity of concrete and to estimate its strength and elastic properties.
5. Combined Methods
The combined methods involving ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound hammer have been used to estimate strength of concrete.
6. Radioactive and Nuclear Methods
These include the X-ray and Gamma ray penetration tests for measurement of density and thickness of concrete. Also, the neutron scattering and neutron activation methods are used for moisture and cement content determination.
7. Magnetic and Electrical Methods
The magnetic methods are primarily concerned with determining cover of reinforcement in concrete, whereas the electrical methods, including microwave absorption techniques, have been used to measure moisture content and thickness of concrete.
8. Acoustic Emission Techniques
These have been used to study the initiation and growth of cracks in concrete.

ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TEST OF SOIL – GEOPHYSICAL METHOD OF SOIL EXPLORATION
Electrical Resistivity Test of Soil
This method depends on differences in the electrical resistance of different soil (and rock) types. The flow of current through a soil is mainly due to electrolytic action and therefore depends on the concentration of dissolved salts in the pores. The mineral particles of soil are poor conductors of current. The resistivity of soil, therefore, decreases as both water content and concentration of salts increase.
Dense clean sand above the water table, for example, would exhibit a high resistivity due to its low degree of saturation and virtual absence of dissolved salts. Saturated clay of high void ratio, on the other hand, would exhibit a low resistivity due to the relative abundance of pore water and the free ions in that water.
There are several methods by which the field resistivity measurements are made. The most popular of the methods is the Wenner Method.
Wenner Method
The Wenner arrangement consists of four equally spaced (A) electrodes driven approximately 20 cm into the ground as shown in the following figure.
In this method a dc current of known magnitude (I) is passed between the two outer (current) electrodes, thereby producing an electric field within the soil, whose pattern can be determined by the resistivities of the soils present within the field and the boundary conditions. By means of the inner electrodes the potential drop ‘E’ for the surface current flow lines is measured. The apparent resistivity ‘R’, is calculated using the following equation
Where,
A in centimeters,
E in volts,
I in amperes, and
R in ohm-cm
The apparent resistivity represents a weighted average of true resistivity to a depth Ain a large volume of soil, the soil close to the surface being more heavily weighted than the soil at greater depths. The presence of a stratum of low resistivity forces the current to flow closer to the surface resulting in a higher voltage drop and hence a higher value of apparent resistivity. The opposite is true if a stratum of low resistivity lies below a stratum of high resistivity.
The method known as electrical sounding is used when the variation of resistivity with depth is required. This enables rough estimates to be made of the types and depths of strata. A series of readings are taken, the (equal) spacing of the electrodes being increased for each successive reading. However, the center of the four electrodes remains at a fixed point. As the spacing is increased, the apparent resistivity is influenced by a greater depth of soil. If the resistivity increases with the increasing electrode spacing, it can be concluded that an underlying stratum of higher resistivity is beginning to influence the readings. If increased separation produces decreasing resistivity, on the other hand, a lower resistivity is beginning to influence the readings.
Apparent resistivity is plotted against spacing, preferably, on log paper. Characteristic curves for a two layer structure are shown in the following figure.
For curve C1 the resistivity of layer 1 is lower than that of layer 2; for curve C2, layer 1 has a higher resistivity than that of layer 2. The curves become asymptotic to lines representing the true resistance R1 and R2 of the respective layers. Approximate layer thickness can be obtained by comparing the observed curves of resistivity versus electrode spacing with a set of standard curves. The procedure known as electrical profiling is used in the investigation of lateral variation of soil types. A series of readings is taken, the four electrodes being moved laterally as a unit for each successive reading; the electrode spacing remains constant for each reading of the series. Apparent resistivity is plotted against the center position of the four electrodes, to natural scale; such a plot can be used to locate the position of a soil of high or low resistivity. Contours of resistivity can be plotted over a given area. The electrical method of exploration has been found to be not as reliable as the seismic method as the apparent resistivity of a particular soil or rock can vary over a wide range of values. Representative values of resistivity are given in the following table.
HOW TO CALCULATE PILE LOAD CAPACITY? (STATIC ANALYSIS)
The ultimate bearing capacity of a pile is the maximum load which it can carry without failure or excessive settlement of the ground.
The bearing capacity of a pile depends primarily on 3 factors as given below,
- Type of soil through which pile is embedded
- Method of pile installation
- Pile dimension (cross section & length of pile)
While calculating pile load capacity for cast in situ concrete piles, using static analysis, we need to use soil shear strength parameter and dimension of pile.
Load Carrying Capacity of Pile Using Static Analysis
The pile transfers the load into the soil in two ways. Firstly, through the tip-in compression, termed as “end-bearing” or “point-bearing”; secondly, by shear along the surface termed as “skin friction”.
Load carrying capacity of cast in-situ piles in cohesive soil
The ultimate load carrying capacity (Qu) of pile in cohesive soils is given by the formula given below, where the first term represents the end bearing resistance (Qb) and the second term gives the skin friction resistance (Qs).
Where,
Qu = Ultimate load capacity, kN
Ap = Cross-sectional area of pile tip, in m2
Nc = Bearing capacity factor, may be taken as 9
αi = Adhesion factor for the ith layer depending on the consistency of soil. It depends upon the undrained shear strength of soil and may be obtained from the figure given below.
ci = Average cohesion for the ith layer, in kN/m2
Asi = Surface area of pile shaft in the ith layer, in m2
A minimum factor of safety of 2.5 is used to arrive at the safe pile load capacity (Qsafe) from ultimate load capacity (Qu).
Qsafe = Qu/2.5
Load carrying capacity of cast in-situ piles in cohesion less soil
The ultimate load carrying capacity of pile, “Qu”, consists of two parts. One part is due to friction, called skin friction or shaft friction or side shear denoted as “Qs” and the other is due to end bearing at the base or tip of the pile toe, “Qb”.
The equation given below is used to calculate the ultimate load carrying capacity of pile.
Where,
Ap = cross-sectional area of pile base, m2
D = diameter of pile shaft, m
γ = effective unit weight of the soil at pile tip, kN/m3
Nγ= bearing capacity factor
Nq = bearing capacity factor
Φ = Angle of internal friction at pile tip
PD = Effective overburden pressure at pile tip, in kN/m2
Ki = Coefficient of earth pressure applicable for the ith layer
PDi = Effective overburden pressure for the ith layer, in kN/m2
δi = Angle of wall friction between pile and soil for the ith layer
Asi = Surface area of pile shaft in the ith layer, in m2
The first term is the expression for the end bearing capacity of pile (Qb) and the second term is the expression for the skin friction capacity of pile (Qs).
A minimum factor of safety of 2.5 is used to arrive at the safe pile capacity (Qsafe) from ultimate load capacity (Qu).
Qsafe = Qu / 2.5
