Description
This Concrete Testing Compact Reference Book contains instructions on how to carry out the 30 most important standardize and non-standardize building material tests using EN standards.
The articles are subdivided into cement tests, aggregate tests, fresh concrete tests, hardened concrete tests, and on site-evaluations. The test procedures are explained in the form of a proven checklist subdivided into the goals of the test, the required equipment and aids, the material to be provided, the work steps, the frequent sources of error, the accident hazards and the minimum information in the test report. Everything is explained with numerous color illustrations. Some tests are presented in simplified form in order to make the sometimes very complex procedures comprehensible and transparent. Observing the information on potential sources of error makes it possible to exclude errors from the outset.
