Vicat’s Apparatus – Initial and Final Setting Time of Cement – Test Theory

Civil Engineering, Concrete Technology / /

Vicat’s Apparatus  is used to find out the consistency, initial setting time and final setting time of the cement. In the normal consistency test we have to find out the amount of water to be added to the cement to form a cement paste of normal consistency.  Vicat’s apparatus consists of an arrangement to hold […]

Aggregate Impact Value Test

Civil Engineering, Concrete Technology, Transportation Engineering / /

AIM: To find the aggregate Impact value. Theory: Aggregate to be used as road materials must possess some properties or characteristics. Toughness is one of the highly required property which is necessary for the aggregates to bear the impact loads.  Road aggregates are applied with the impact loads a millions of times in their life
