Cement testing lab manual

Concrete Lab Manual Dept. of Civil Engg., SJCE, Mysuru Page 1 NORMAL CONSISTENCY OF CEMENT Exp. No.: 1 AIM: To determine the quantity of water required to produce a cement paste of standard consistency. APPARATUS: Vicat’s apparatus conforming to IS: completing the test. FORMAT The manual is divided into eight sections, containing individual test methods pertaining to that particular group. Each test method is assigned a unique serial number three digits long. A suffix number of two digits indicates the year in order to differentiate revisions. Thus, test indicates test was adopted in. CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY LAB SYLLABUS Exp. No. List of Experiments 1. Introduction to Concrete Technology Laboratory 2. Fineness of Cement 3. Normal Consistency of Cement 4. Initial and Final Setting Times of Cement 5. Specific Gravity of Cement 6. Compression Strength of Cement 7. Soundness of Cement 8. Fineness Modulus of Fine and Coarse Aggregates 9.

Concrete Laboratory is one of major laboratory tools used to evaluate concrete structure performance and establish compliance for the quality of concrete. This Laboratory Manual of Concrete will be used in the courses in the Bachelor Science program in College of Engineering, and also planned to be used in the Postgraduate Structural.

Specimen 6 cubes of 15 cm size. Mix. M15 or above Mixing Mix the concrete either by hand or in a laboratory batch mixer Hand Mixing 1) Mix the cement and fine aggregate on a water tight none-absorbent platform until the mixture is thoroughly blended and is of uniform color 2) Add the coarse aggregate and mix with cement and fine aggregate until the coarse aggregate is uniformly distributed throughout the batch 3) Add water and mix it until the concrete appears to be homogeneous and of the.

The theory part gives brief theoretical background of the experiment while the experimental part outlines the procedure for performing the test. The discussion. These tests have been selected to illustrate the basic properties and methods of testing of cement, aggregates, mortar, concrete, and steel. Test procedures.
