When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...
Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...
Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic. Concrete must ...
States consider new science-backed solution to save time and money on concrete infrastructure repair
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Committee on Materials and Pavements approves Purdue-invented method as a national standard for estimating concrete strength WEST ...
Reinforcing steel and ribbed reinforcement bars (rebars) are essential to civil engineering, forming a category of key structural materials which, in the case of concrete-reinforcing steel, are ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Transitioning to clean wind energy could become more cost-efficient as Purdue University researchers test a new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore ...
In the corner of Florida International University’s engineering campus, a constant mechanical pulsing echoes through a warehouse that smells like a construction site. The rapid “hum hiss” is coming ...
