PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TESTS ON BUILDING MATERIALS SPECIMEN

a. PHYSICAL TESTS

1. CEMENT
2. STEEL
3. CONCRETE
4. BRICKS (BURNT CLAY & FLY ASH)
5. BURNT CLAY HOLLOW BRICKS
6. CONCRETE BLOCKS (HOLLOW & SOILD)
7. SOIL

b. CHEMICAL TESTS:

    WATER ANALYSIS FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSE, POTABILITY (DRINKING) PURPOSE
    SOIL SPECIMEN
    STEEL SPECIMEN (BOTH REBARS AND STRUCTURALS)
    CEMENT SPECIMEN

FRESH CONCRETE TESTING:

MIX DESIGN FOR CONCRETE, HOLLOW/SOLID BLOCKS/PAVER BLOCKS

TESTING ON HARDENED CONCRETE

Destructive Method: Conducting Compression Test on both cube and cylinderical specimen
Non-Destructive Method: Conduct UltrasonicTest and  on distressed r.c. structures
Semi Destructive Method:Core Cutter Method to findout the Compressive Strength of concrete core

FIELD TESTS ON SOIL:

Conducting Standard Penetration Tests to findout Save Bearing Capacity of the Soil
Conducting Field  Density of soil by Core Cutter Method and Sand Replacement Method
