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 ...

A SUNY Canton Civil and Environmental Engineering Technology team has earned national recognition at the American Concrete ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic. Concrete must ...

Cortec’s migrating corrosion inhibitor admixtures for concrete are now available as a pre-packaged, water-soluble “grenade” of MCI 2006 NS that can replace MCI 2005/MCI 2005 NS liquid admixtures for ...

Drexel University engineers have shown that a concrete mix designed to gently warm itself in cold weather can cut damaging freeze-thaw cycles outdoors, pointing to longer-lasting pavements for cold ...
