searchfeed Slump tEST (IS:1199-1959) OBJECTIVe To determine the workability or consistency of concrete mix of given proportion by slump test.   REFERENCE STANDARDS IS : 1199-1959 – Methods of tests for Slump of concrete. EQUIPMENT & APPARATUS §   Slump Cone with base plate §   Tampering Rod PROCEDURE  Take the sample concrete from the discharge location. The internal surface of the slump cone is to be thoroughly cleaned and placed on a smooth, horizontal, rigid and non absorbent surface. Place the mixed concrete in the cleaned slump cone in 4 layers each approximately 1/4 in height of the mould. Tamp each layer 25 times with tamping rod. Remove the cone immediately, rising it slowly and carefully in the vertical direction. As soon as the concrete settlement comes to a stop, measure the subsistence of the concrete in cms, which gives the slump. searchfeed SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS The strokes are

ACCELERATED CURING TEST OF CONCRETE (IS:9013-1978) OBJECTIVE Normally, the strength of concrete is found out after 7 days and 28 days. For some construction activities, it may be too late and need to know the strength earlier.   REFERENCE STANDARDS IS: 9013-1978-Method of making, curing and determining compressive strength of accelerated cured concrete test specimen. EQUIPMENT & APPARATUS §   Accelerated curing tank §   Compression Testing                                                                                                Accelerated Curing Tank PROCEDURE 1.                    Prepare the concrete cube specimen and store it in moist air of at least 90% relative humidity and at a temperature of 27+2 o C for 23 hrs + 15 minutes. 2.                  Lower the specimen, into a curing tank with water at 100   0 C and keep it totally immersed for 3 ½ hours + 5 minutes 3.                  The temperature of water shall not drop more than 3oC after
