Free online knowledge for the paving industry. The soundness test determines an aggregate's resistance to disintegration by weathering and, in particular, freeze-thaw cycles.. Description. The most common soundness test involves repeatedly submerging an aggregate sample in a saturated solution of sodium or magnesium sulfate.
Sulphate attack on concrete is a chemical breakdown mechanism where sulphate ions attack components of the cement paste. The compounds responsible for sulphate attack on concrete are water-soluble sulphate-containing salts, such …
4.2 Values for the permitted-loss percentage by this test method are usually different for fine and coarse aggregates, and attention is called to the fact that test results by use of the two salts differ considerably and care must be exercised in fixing proper limits in any specifications that include requirements for these tests.

Summing up the results of standard methods of the aggregate testing, considering their alkali sensitivity, the method which tests the deformation of the concrete bars including the aggregate at issue and increased al-kali content cement seems to be the most conclusive. However, the test duration up to 180 days is too short, particularly
Hammer test on the mortar were studied at ages 7, 14, 21 and 28 days respectively, cubes immersed in sodium sulphate environment has an incredibly low compressive strength of 19.1N/mm 2 at 28 days ...
Objective This test is intended to study the resistance of coarse and fine aggregates to weathering action and to judge the durability of the coarse aggregate. Apparatus Name Capacity Least count Balance 500 g 0.1 g Balance 5000 g 1 g Oven 105 to 1100C Sieves 80 mm, 63 mm, 40 mm, 31.5 mm, […]
The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in concrete as partial and full replacements of natural coarse aggregate is growing interest in the construction industry, as it reduces the demand for ...
If the Cl- content of concrete is higher than 0.17%, the test should be repeated using a higher volume of 0.05 M AgNO 3 solution (for instance 10 cm3). Run a blank test using the procedure described above with the same reagents, but without sample. Record the spent volume (V2) of NH 4 SCN solution corresponding to the blank test.

The test results indicate a decrease in durability when the ratio of silt content to fine aggregate is more than 5%. The compressive strength, however, increases only 1 MPa when the silt volume is less than 5%. But it decreases …
Chloride testing (and other chemical tests) of concrete can provide extremely useful information regarding the cause of defects or damage to concrete. The chemical concrete tests most frequently carried out are Chloride Test, Cement Content Test, Concrete Carbonation Test, Sulphate Test, Type of Cement Test and the Alkali Test.
Proposed prEN Tests for chemical properties of aggregates. Part 1 Chemical analysis. CEN/TC 154/TG 8 committee paper.) requires the results of chloride determinations to be rounded to the nearest 0.01%. However, chloride contents in the range 0.02 to 0.15% are of interest when the test is used to assess the compliance of concrete with a limit ...
Principle: Limit test of sulphate is based on the reaction of soluble sulphate with barium chloride in presence of dilute hydrochloric acid to form barium sulphate which appears as solid particles (turbidity) in the solution. Procedure: Test sample. Standard compound. Specific weight of compound is dissolved in water or solution is prepared as ...

BS 1881-124 (2015) provides a method for determining acid soluble sodium and potassium contents. Barnes and Ingham (2013) reported that inter-laboratory test results from this method were consistently higher than the target, which may reflect extraction of alkalis that would normally not be available for AAR, such as alkalis bound within minerals in the aggregate.
