A new roller compacted concrete dam of Fengman hydropower station was determined to be built in the toe of the old dam which had been identified as a dangerous dam. The new dam during construction would be impacted by the high‐speed flow discharged from the old dam. This is an important problem met for the first time in China, which would affect the whole project construction.

Compressive Strength of concrete = Maximum compressive load / Cross Sectional Area. Cross sectional Area = 150mm X 150mm = 22500 mm2 or 225 cm2. Assume the compression load is 450 KN, Compressive Strength = (450000 N / 225)/9.81 = 204 kg/cm2. Note – 1 kg is equal to 9.81 N.

6. Compression test of concrete - Most commonly the specification says 3 cubes will be taken for 7 days compressive strength test and another 3 cubes to be tested for 28 days to get the

WWW. NRMCA.ORG Scope of Testing • Samples obtained in accordance with ASTM C172 • Point of delivery from transportation unit (or mixer) • Other sampling methods should be defined • Fresh Concrete tests • Slump or slump flow - tolerances in ASTM C94; ACI 117 • Air content - tolerance ±1.5% • Temperature - limits in specifications • Density - typically no limits unless

Submit a comprehensive report documenting final soil improvements constructed, construction observation and the results of the confirmation testing and analysis to CGS for final acceptance. During concrete placement, fabricate specimens for strength tests, perform slump and air content tests, and determine the temperature of the concrete

wharf area construction, access road construction, river mooring installation and construction of a support marina. • Contract 2 - Rail Yard Construction includes rail construction on the processing facility site property, and within the right-of-way of the commercial rail carrier, and rail yard facilities work.

Compressive-strength testing. Perhaps the most important test for hardened concrete used in construction projects, however, is compressive-strength testing, which allows engineers to assess the strength of a concrete sample and its performance under

Used as quality control during construction of concrete structures: Concrete Core Compressive Strength: BS EN 12504-1, 12390-3 & 12390-7: Used to assess the strength of concrete in existing structures. Depth of Carbonation (by Phenolpthalein indicator) BS EN 14630: This test is used to establish whether the pH of concrete has reduced.

Compression testing machine is a high-pressure oil pressure as a power source. The force is relatively large, generally more than 2000KN (200ton) of the testing machine, most of them are hydraulic. Hydraulic compression testing machine is mainly used for compression test of many kinds of materials, such as cement, concrete, building brick
