EL 108 – Construction Materials Laboratory
These units conduct comprehensive construction-material tests, including cement consistency, specific gravity, soundness, aggregate properties, slump, air content, and the compressive and tensile strength of concrete. They provide instruction on acceptance criteria for construction materials as well as quality control procedures.
The experiments conducted in this laboratory are as follows:
- Cement consistency
- Cement Specific gravity
- Soundness
- Sieve analysis
- pecific Gravity and Moisture content of agg
- Los Angeles abrasion
- Impact Value
- Slump, Vebe and compaction Factor
- Air content
- Compressive and splitting tensile of concrete
- Brinell Hardness
- Concrete Mixer
- Compressive strength of concrete
- 7-Day Compressive strength
- Sieve Shaker with Time Adjustment
