So that it may be certain that a concrete specimen’s mechanical properties reach the strength and deflection imperatives for its intended use, concrete specimens with specific dimensions are prepared, ...

As a foundational building material, concrete must exceed quality and strength expectations. This means rigorous testing throughout the construction process. Concrete is the most commonly used ...

Concrete properties and quality testing are advancing as new technologies enter the industry. Traditional methods, such as break tests, remain widely accepted in standardized practices, but jobsites ...

A solid concrete structure may probably fail if gaps are not properly bridged and protected. When the concrete structure serves as a containment vessel of fluids, leakage must be prevented or reduced ...

Andrew Fahim is the Senior Manager of Research and Development at Giatec Scientific. Andrew's research interests include non-destructive concrete testing, machine learning for concrete performance ...

Canal pavers, such as this GOMACO model, are modified transverse-roller pavers that have been adapted to fit the slope and dimensions of trapezoidal shaped canals. The mainline slipform paver is the ...
