The Experimental Results And Test Parameters

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.

When you are doing the displacement method there can be an error on how much volume of water you accurately pour in.

I also filled the graduated cyliner with 5.0mL of water, and placed the same bolt under water, and the volume increased to 6.0mL of water, which is a 1.0mL water displacement equaling the same (1.0mL).

Another reason why cube test is carried out is to measure the workability of concrete. The workability of the fresh concrete shall be judged by its suitability for the condition of handling and placing so that after compaction, it surround all, reinforcement, tendons and ducts and completely fills the formwork. Our cube strength can withstand the maximum load only at 319.78 kN(cube sample no. 3) this is because in our mixture of concrete, volume of water is higher so that our strength of concrete is lower. To get higher strength of concrete, volume of water must reduced. Problem of concrete we need to face is segregation and bleeding. Another problem is shrinkage, expansion, cracking, tension cracking and so on.

Objective(s): The objective for this lab was to become familiar with the materials that we will be using in future labs. We also were to learn basic laboratory techniques and also demonstrate how to weigh and measure different objects.

The purpose of this final laboratory experiment was to allow the student to apply the knowledge learned from the exercises performed during the laboratory sessions. The knowledge accumulated from these exercises dealt with performing multiple tests used to characterize and differentiate between microorganisms. Not only did the student learn how to perform these tests, but also learned the ability to interpret the results in order to identify a microorganism. By the end of the final laboratory period, the student was expected to be able to correctly isolate and identify the two microorganisms, one Gram-positive and one Gram-negative, from a mixed culture the student receives. The mixed culture I received was number 21. From

For the growth of all plants, specific levels of pH in the soil and in the plants themselves are important. These levels of pH affect the growth of the plants. This experiment explores and investigates how different pH environments affect the growth of Mung Beans. This following experiment will also explore the damaging effects of salinity (salt) on seed germination.

Aggregate is one of the basic constituents of concrete. Its quality is of considerable importance because about three-quarter of the volume of concrete is occupied by aggregates. One of the physical properties of aggregate that influence the property of concrete is the grading of aggregate. The grading of aggregate defines the proportions of particles of different size in the aggregate. The grading of fine (size < 5 mm) and coarse (size > 5 mm) aggregates are generally required to be within the limits specified in BS 882: 1992.

3. AE method lies in the fact that the damage can be detected in real time.

Abstract. Considerable network of transportation infrastructures such as highways, rails, and so forth are key providers to economic growth and productivity of countries. Consecutively, Reinforced Concrete (RC) is the predominant construction materials in constructing many of these infrastructures. RC is a unique construction material which allows flexible design layouts and offers safe bending and torsion to satisfy design requirements. However, being exposed to harsh environment and contamination such as salts, acid rain, distilled water, carbonation, sulphur and so on are the reasons for deterioration, thus significantly impacting the performance of these structures. Furthermore, the deterioration of these structures is not only a

Concrete is the oldest and most common material used in the construction industry. It consists of

Adorno (2004) developed his studies using Concrete and reinforced concrete submitted to straight flexure-compression with the same dimensions. Their experimental program was divided into two Series, PSA (non-reinforced columns) and PCA4 (strengthened columns). They are shown in Figures 2.14 and 2.15. Although the PSA series is made of simple concrete columns, a Nominal diameter equal to five millimeters, was used at the ends of the models, with the Purpose of avoiding localized ruin of these regions, because of the concentration of stresses. Adorno (2004) concluded on the rupture load and the ultimate moment that:

Nipun Verma et.al 2014, presented the Self-compacting concrete is gaining attention worldwide owing to its ability to compact without the need for either internal or external vibration even in areas of highly congested reinforcement such as beam-column joints. Since last two decades, several researches have been conducted on Self-compacting concrete and now application of SCC has gained momentum. In the present study, bond stress corresponding to the maximum pull-out load that can be regarded as the bond strength or ultimate bond strength was conducted. The slow development of compressive strength and bond strength in SCC at early age is generally due to
