CONSISTENCY TEST

To determine the quantity of water

required to produce a cement paste

of standard consistency as per IS:

4031 (Part 4) - 1988.

APPARATUS

Vicat apparatus conforming to IS:

5513 1976

Balance, Gauging trowel.

PROCEDURE

Take 400gm cement sample mix it with weighed quantity of water. Fill the Vicat mould with paste and level it with a trowel.

Set the plunger till it touches the cement surface.

Release the plunger allowing it to sink into the paste and note the reading on the

gauge(5 to 7mm from bottom).

Soundness Test

Le-Chatelier method as per IS:

4031 (Part 3) - 1988.

APPARATUS

Le-Chatelier test

conform to IS: 5514 1969

Balance, water bath.

PROCEDURE

Place the mould on a glass sheet and fill it with the cement paste formed by gauging

cement with 0.78 times the water required to give a paste of standard consistency and

cover the mould with another glass sheet.

Keep whole assembly in water at a temperature 27 2 C for 24hr.

Measure the distance between the indicator points (say d1 ). Submerge the mould again in boling water for 3hr.

Measure the distance between the indicator points (say d2 ).

(d2 dl) represents the expansion of cement.

Slump Test

As per IS: 1199 - 1959.

APPARATUS Slump cone, Tamping rod(16mm dia, 0.6m

length).

PROCEDURE

Clean the internal surface of mould.

Placed mould on a smooth, horizontal,

rigid and non-absorbent surface. Filled the mould in four layer with

tampering 25 times by the rounded end.

After the top layer is rodded, the concrete

is struck off the level with a trowel.

Then immediately mould has been

removed and the height difference has

been measured which gives slump value.

Tests on Concrete

Compacting factor

As per IS: 1199 - 1959.

APPARATUS

Compacting factor apparatus.

PROCEDURE

The sample of concrete is placed in the upper hopper

upto the brim.

The trap-door is opened so that the concrete falls into

the lower hopper. The trap-door of the lower hopper is opened and the

concrete is allowed to fall into the cylinder.

The excess concrete remaining above the top level of

the cylinder is then cut off with the help of plane

blades.

The concrete in the cylinder is weighed. This is knownas weight of partially compacted concrete.

The cylinder is filled with a fresh sample of concrete

and vibrated to obtain full compaction. The concrete in

the cylinder is weighed again. This weight is known as

the weight of fully compacted concrete.

Tension Test

APPARATUS

UTM, Varnier caliper.

As per IS: 1608 - 1995.

PROCEDURE

Measure a cross sectional dimension of the given specimen(IS 1608:2005).

Fix the specimen in machine between the fixed cross head and the upper

crosshead.

Apply load gradually and note the ultimate load or breaking load.

Measure the distance between gauge point and the reduced diameter at section of

failure.

Shear Test

APPARATUS

UTM, Varnier caliper.

As per IS: 5242 - 1979.

PROCEDURE

Determine mean diameter of the specimen.

Place the specimen in the assembly for single/double shear.

Apply the load gradually till the specimen fails in single/double shear and note

the corresponding load from the dial gauge.

Single Shear Double Shear

As per IS: 1708 - 1986.

PROCEDURE

Measure a cross sectional dimension of the given specimen.

Fix the specimen in machine between the lower cross head and the upper

crosshead.

Apply compressive load gradually and test it up to its fracture.
