54 Testing equipment for the construction industryTesting equipment for the construction industry

Our CompanyOur pride and joy

Research & DevelopmentA name, a meaning

Our R&D specialists, often collaborating actively with the academic world, have developed highly specializedtesting systems and updated a number of new products.

During the months preceding March 1968, when the com-pany was founded, we were involved, among other things, with fin-ding a company name related to our business. A name that could be understood in all languages, or almost all, andalso easy to pronounce: CONTROLS.

From the beginning, we wanted to operate both domesticallyand internationally, in order to best utilize our technical skills and tobest serve the needs of the market. Milan, being strategically locatedand having a particularly favourable climate for industrial and com-mercial growth, was chosen as our base of operation.

At the same time, our international network was taking form,with the creation of agents, distributors, branches in France, Mexico,Spain and the United Kingdom, while our R&D Service was developingnew and sophisticated testing systems that have placed us in the fore-front worldwide.

The recent acquisition of Wykeham Farrance UK, world leaderin the field of advanced geotechnical testing system, has furtherstrengthened our organization.

Now CONTROLS is an international group and the majorworld producer of testing equipment.

The growing demand for testing, prompted not only by all themajor works under construction (dams, highways, high speed railwayssystem, tunnels, bridges, etc.) but also by new Standards involving anti-seismic construction, land protection, and building recovery, has crea-ted new requirements for the automation of tests and the developmentof advanced equipment.

The major contribution to this exceptional growth has beengiven by our team of hardware and software specialists as, practicallyall new machines and testing systems are electronically controlled.


Our Industrial ProductionQuality and efficiency

Introduction

Balances are a general pur-pose laboratory apparatus usedeither for soil, aggregates, cement,concrete and asphalt testing.Controls supply a wide range ofmodels suitable for different appli-cations ranging from the centrallaboratories field use, educationaletc. Electronic models are nowrecommended assuring betterperformance, with simplicity in usefor a reasonable cost.

Battery operated models areparticularly suitable for field use. Wealso propose a range of accessoriesand calibration weights to periodi-cally check the balances.

How to select balances

Where not specified by the relevant stan-dards, the tables given below may be used toselect the appropriate balance conformingto the general specification for balancesgiven in the ASTM D4753-95, BS 1377:Part1, and EN 932-5.Very often a single specification requiresbalances having a readability and toleranceof 0.1% of the specimen mass to be mea-sured which is another suitable choice cri-teria.Other standards covering aggregates andgranular materials in general give informa-tion about the quantity of aggregate to betested depending upon its size (UNI 8520part 5, BS 812: part 1, BS 598 etc.). The dif-ferent standards give practically the samerecommendation so we have included thisinformation in a separate table.

Introduction

SPECIFICATIONS

We propose a complete range of fulldepth testing sieves with 200 mm,8", 250 mm, 300 mm, 12", 315 mmand 450 mm dia., with woven wirecloth and perforated plate confor-ming to the different standards. Onrequest we can also supply modelswith round holes perforated platefrom 1 to 100 mm dia. All frames except the 450 mm dia.,and wire cloth sieves are manufactu-red from stainless steel. Perforatedplates are made from tinned steel.Sieves having the same nominal dia-meter are designed to nest one ineach other. Using 200 mm (8") sie-ves it is possible to test up to 1000g of aggregates and 3000 g with300 mm (12") dia.

STANDARDS

a) European

Conforming to the new European EN stan-dards all sieves for the construction indu-stry are specified by the following stan-dards:

EN 933-2

choice for supplying advanced and high level equip-ment in the important field of quality control.The testing equipment in this catalogue has beencarefully designed and manufactured to conform tothe most recent specifications and standards.

By combining this with improved skill levelsthe engineer can reach a higher degree of accuracyand repeatability of test results resulting in totalconfidence in the data produced.

Widely used in materials testing laboratoriesaround the world, the testing equipment of CON-TROLS can also be seen in Universities and TechnicalInstitutes for the training and education of tomor-row's geo-technical engineers and technicians.


In all sections of civil engineering and par-ticularly in soil mechanics, the engineer during thedesign stage must ensure that the analysis of soilproperties relate directly to the relevant foundationor structure. Using procedures involving extracting,examining and testing representative samples theengineer can compute a model very close to the realsituation. In recent years we have seen a significantcontribution to experimental analysis resulting frommore sophisticated testing procedures, updating ofmany International Standards, and publication ofgood testing manuals and procedures.

CONTROLS have been an active participantin this approach to excellence and are recognisedboth in Europe and Internationally as the partner of

Heavy duty pocket penetrometer

The pocket penetrometer is a world-wideknown instrument used by geotechnicians,geologists, agronomists, etc. to obtainquickly and easily an approximate measureof the shear strength of cohesive and semi-cohesive soils. The special feature of thismodel is the design of the penetration rod,which allows a relatively deep penetrationinto the soil (up to 6 cm) thus reducing errorsand uncertainties typical of shallow measu-res, which are often affected by remoulding,

TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer(DCP)

The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer)is an instrument designed for the rapid in-situ measurement of the structural proper-ties of existing road pavements constructedwith unbound materials. Continuous mea-surements can be made down to a depth ofapproximately 850 mm or when extensionshafts are used to a recommended maxi-mum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layershave different strengths the boundaries canbe identified and the thickness of the layersdetermined. Correlation’s have been establi-shed in earlier work (Van Vuuren 1969,Kleyn and Van Heerden 1983, Smith andPratt 1983) between measurements withthe DCP and CBR (California Bearing Ratio)so that results can be interpreted and com-pared with CBR specifications for pavementdesign. A typical test takes only a few minu-tes and therefore the instrument provides avery efficient method of obtaining informa-tion that would normally require the dig-ging of test-pits.

UNIVERSAL CARBIDE METERS

q STANDARDBS 6576

The moisture content can be determinedusing Moisture testers based on the cal-cium carbide method. The soil sample isintroduced in the bottle with the reagent.The water reacts with calcium carbide anddevelops a gas pressure, which is indicatedon the manometer and easily converted inpercentage of moisture. This model is offered as alternative to theSpeedy testers and can be used when thepresumed humidity content exceeds the20% as the sample weight can be variedfrom 3 to 100 g for the complete reactionwith the calcium carbide contained in theglass ampoule. Furthermore the reactionstarts only when the bottle is closed andshaken so the steel balls break the glassampoule containing calcium carbide withno risk for the operator.

Soil classificationIn view of the great diversity of soilmaterials caused by the differentprocess of formations, engineershave long recognised a need to cha-racterise them simply, so that physi-cal and mechanical properties maybe quickly assessed. For this purposea series of “index” tests have beenproperly developed and internatio-nally standardised. By performingproper classification tests it is possi-ble to describe accurately a soil insuch a way that its characterisationis recognised internationally.

q STANDARDBS 1377:3

The resistivity value indicates the relativecapability of the soil to carry electric cur-rents from which the corrosiveness of thesoil can be deduced.

Wenner probe method

This procedure enables the electrical resisti-vity of an undisturbed or disturbed soilsample to be measured in the laboratory.Four probes are inserted into the sample,the two outer are connected to the sourceof current and the resistance is measuredacross the two inner probes. The test is notrecommended for soils containing anappreciable amount of gravel-size particles.

Open container method

This procedure is for the measurement ofthe electrical resistivity of a soil such as fillmaterial that has been compacted to aspecified density and then saturated byadding water. It is suitable only for relati-vely free-draining materials into whichwater can percolate easily.

SOIL TESTING

TRIAXIAL TESTS

General information

The settlement of soil-supported foundations and the change in earth pressure due to small movement of retaining walls or other earthsupports, the yield of soil caused by local application of load, are determined by the relation between stress and strain in soils. The expe-rimental investigation used to determine the stress-strain relation is usually carried out with a triaxial compression test. During the test,the undisturbed soil samples are gradually stressed up to failure, which corresponds to the maximum shear strength. The test is perfor-med placing a cylindrical soil sample, enclosed in a rubber membrane, in a triaxial cell and subjecting it to an isotropic fluid pressure.An axial load is subsequently applied on the specimen through a loading piston in such a way that the soil sample is deformed at a con-stant rate of strain. Generally speaking, the triaxial tests are performed to simulate different types of stress and drainage conditions thatcan occur in the subsoil because of the effect of building constructions, excavations, tunnelling etc.Three different triaxial tests are usually performed (see page 71) for total and effective stress measurement.

Our production of triaxial equipment

Controls manufactures a large sophisticated state of the art range of triaxial equipment which is detailed below. Automatic machines forcompression and extension tests, computerised and integrated systems have also been developed for advanced testing laboratories, wherenot only conventional tests are carried out.

Geotechnical: TriaxialGeneral information

Total stress measurementUnconsolidated Undrained (UU) tests

With this method the shear strength is measured with respect tototal stress. The soil specimen (assumed saturated) is not allowedto consolidate, maintains its original structure and water content,so that its resistance only depends on the level of geostatic stressin the field.Tests are usually carried out on three specimens of the same sam-ple, subjected to different confining pressure. Provided that thesoil is fully saturated, the effective stresses at failure is the samefor each test.The Mohr envelope, plotted with respect to total stress is horizon-tal and the shear strength is constant and equal to Cu (undrainedshear strength).

Effective stress measurement Consolidated Drained (CD) tests

This test method is similar to the “CU” test as the shear strengthcan be related to the applied level of stress. At least three speci-mens are allowed to consolidate at different levels of confiningpressure. The failure stage is carried out very slowly to preventthe increase of pore pressure inside the specimen, which isallowed to drain. The total and effective stresses are the same.Mohr circles are drawn for effective stresses at failure and theparameters c′ and ϕ′ are determined from the Mohr envelope.

Effective stress measurementConsolidated Undrained (CU) tests

With this test method the shear strength is measured in terms ofeffective stress. At least three specimens are allowed to consolida-te (i.e. to change its structure and water content) at different levelof confining pressure before failure. Due to the fact that shearstrength increases raising the effective stresses the Coulomb’smodel can be applied in terms of effective stress:

τ = c′ + σ′n tg ϕ′where: τ = shear resistance; σ′n = effective normal stressc′ , ϕ′ = parameters of Mohr envelope in terms of effective stress

During the failure stage the specimen is not allowed to drain andpore pressure is measured, so that the effective stresses are calcula-ted as the difference between the total stress and the pore pressure.

Geotechnical: TriaxialPressure system

IntroductionThe pressure system provides twoseparate lines for the desired con-stant pressure inside the triaxial cell(cell pressure system) and in the spe-cimen drainage line (back pressuresystem). A specimen volume change indicator(burette or electric transducer type)is also provided.The system is completed by a de-aired water apparatus and by allother accessories such as tubing,valves etc.Different solutions are availabledepending on the type of test to beperformed.

- Air/water bladder system actuated by a pneumatic compressor

- Motorised oil and water system- Automatic digital controllers

connectable to PC.

For clarity we propose first the mostcommon layout systems and then allsingle components.All single components can howeverbe combined to provide differentsolutions conforming to the user’srequirements.

STRESS PATH TRIAXIAL TESTSWITH AUTOMATIC PRESSURE CONTROLLERS

Introduction and application

The automatic pressure controllers can beused to control or to manage both cellpressure and back pressure in the triaxialtests (UU, CU or CD), in order to performthe different stages: saturation, consolida-tion and failure. The controllers are associa-ted to a triaxial compression machine toautomatically control a complete test via ap.c. With this system it is possible toperform either compression or extensiontests (varying horizontal or vertical stressas well) on the soil specimen up to 100 mmdiameter, using standard type triaxial cells(see page 75).Proper application software packages areavailable to automatically perform the dif-ferent stage of triaxial tests.

Automatic test system. (Air compressor and de-airing tank not shown)

MAIN ADVANTAGES- Suitable for both compression or

extension tests- Easily mounted on a laboratory bench,

reducing the working space of thetraditional systems

- Very accurate control and measure-ment of hydraulic pressures applied tothe soil samples

- Completely automatic management ofthe tests through p.c.

Three places consolidation load frame

General description

This apparatus has been designed to redu-ce the testing time for triaxial tests, whereonly one compression machine is available.With this equipment it is possible toperform the consolidation stage of threetriaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests, where:- Vertical compression of

specimen must be measured- Anisotropic consolidation has to be

performed.It consists of a steel bench complete withthree load frames and centring platens, forall our triaxial cells (28-T0410/A, 28-T0411/A and 28-T0416/A), for triaxialspecimens from 35 to 100 mm dia. The apparatus can also be used for othermake of triaxial cells, provided that they areequipped with a centring hole 13 mm dia.x 3 mm deep. Each consolidation frame canbe equipped with a beam loading device toreduce the number of dead weights requi-red for anisotropic consolidation (see acces-sories). Weights can be placed on both thecentre hanger and on the lever hanger.The weights of the loading frames havebeen reduced to minimum so that a coun-terbalance of the frame is not required.

Bench dimensions: 1300x585 mm

B Overall dimensions (hxdxl): 1300x800x970 mm


- To perform simultaneously the aniso-tropic consolidation stage of threetriaxial specimens

- To reduce the testing time where onlyone triaxial compression machine isavailable

- For triaxial cells up to 100 mm dia.specimens

- Ergonomic design for better use ofspace in the laboratory

Software: The new GEOLAB 2000 system

All the available programs: from 30-T0601/P1 to 30-T0601/P10 described belowhave been designed conforming to thelatest requirement of the modern advancedlaboratories.They can be used for:Consolidation tests – Triaxial tests (UU,CU, CD) controlled at each step (satu-ration, consolidation, failure) – Directshear test – Residual shear test (multi-reversal test) – Unconfined compressi-ve strength – CBR test.The programs for the above tests have been

specifically designed to incorporate themajority of test procedures carried outthroughout the world according to theInternational Standards. The system, which is housed in a specialconsole, is supplied as standard to acceptup to 8 signals coming from as many tran-sducers. Each one of these signals can beindependently calibrated and reset. Themonitor shows graphically the course ofeach selected test.

Complete configuration

The system is supplied for connection to ahigh resolution graphic printing unit. Atypical system comprises: - Computer- Software programs. See 30-T0601/P1 to

30-T0601/R0The system can be expanded by up to fourunits connected through a serial cable, cor-responding to 32 channels. This new appa-ratus also has the advantage of being usedwithout PC for manual processing of dataor for using other processing systems. It ispossible: - To select the unit for each channel (e.g.

N, kPa, mm, etc.)- To select full range of every channel thus

changing the transducer type- To select different acquisition scanning- To monitor channels involved in each

test- To print in real time the stored data of

each test- To display stored data of each channel.PC and printer are not included.

30-T0601/KEY

Protection key. To be installed in the parallel port ofPC to use the software.

i m p o r t a n t n o t eThe new 30-T0601/A can be connected tothe previous model 30-T0601 for a multi-ple system of up to 32 channels. Pleasecontact our technical-commercial Dept.for more information.

n o t eThe system 30-T0601/A, complete withGeolab 2000 software package, requires apersonal computer where Windowspackage (from 95 Release) must be avai-lable. The data transmission is carried outvia the serial port RS 232.All the recorded data and the generalinformation of each test can be exportedin ASCII code in order to be compatible,readable and processed by many softwarepackage MS-DOS or Windows compatible(Excel, Winword, Grapher, etc.).A proper software package (see 30-T0601/R0) is devoted to customisedprintout of test reports, so that most highresolution printers are compatible. Thesystem has to be completed with the pro-tection key.

Introduction

When highway or railwayearthworks, bases, subbases anddams are constructed and subgradesare prepared, it is necessary to com-pact the material mechanically, toconfer a high degree of density.

This procedure increases theshear strength, reduces the permea-bility and water absorption, andreduces the tendency to settle underrepeated loading.Compaction is therefore defined asthe process of increasing the densityof a material by mechanical means.

To simulate the procedure adop-ted in the earthworks to obtain a

defined level of compaction in thefield, several laboratory tests havebeen developed over the years; theyonly differ for the different level ofenergy applied to the soil sample.

The terms "percent compaction"or "relative compaction" usuallyrefer to the ratio of the dry weightper unit volume of a field-compac-ted soil, compacted with mechanicalequipment, to the maximum dryweight per unit volume of the samesoil, compacted in the laboratory inaccordance with a standard proce-dure, at the "optimum moisturecontent".

The new EN and pr EN standards: pr EN 13286 Unbound and hydraulicallybound mixtures. Test methods for labora-tory dry density and water contentA number of new EN standards havebeen developed or are under deve-lopment covering this subject. Thetest methods are practically identicalto those of the other standardsexcept for some dimension and spe-cification of testing apparatus. Forthis reason we prefer to proposeseparately all the EN testing appara-tus even if, very often, they are iden-tical to those referring to other stan-dards.

IntroductionThe CBR penetration test

can be performed with differenttesting machines: - Specific model 34-T0106 Series,

single speed- Multispeed testing machine also

used to perform other tests (e.g.Marshall test), 34-T0107 Series(see page 120)

- Universal “Uniframe” testerworking either in speed or loadcontrol 70-T0108/E Series (seepage 317)

- Universal high capacity“Multiensayo” tester 70-S16 and70-S17 Series (see page 300)

All the above have to becompleted by the suitable accesso-ries, which may change conformingto the standard in use and the levelof sophistication preferred.For instance, the specific modelSeries 34-T0106 can be equippedeither with a standard load ring anddial gauge or with an electronic loadcell, displacement transducer, digitaldata acquisition and software for PCconnection.The specific testing machine Series34-T0106 is also proposed in the BSversion 34-T0106/BS with a testingspeed of 1 mm/min instead of 1.27mm/min. Finally, to simplify yourselection we also propose the abovemodels complete with CBR accesso-ries in the analogic version (see 34-T0106/A and 34-T0106/B models).Hand operated models for field useare also available (see page124).

The relatively lightweight and small dimen-sions of the apparatus make it very easy touse and to move from one place to another.The measuring bridge made from alumi-nium alloy, is very light and has telescopicextensions so it can be positioned in a fewminutes with minimum effort. The remote load control and gauge aremounted on the pump and it is not neces-sary to go near the platen for recording theload.The deformations are measured with threedial indicators so it is possible to verify theuniformity of deformation on 360°.

DYNAMIC PLATE LOAD TEST USING THE LIGHT DROP-WEIGHT TESTER

q STANDARDAs per “German technical test code for soiland rock in road construction TP BF – StBpart B 8.3/1997”

35-T0120

Light drop-weight tester

Introduction

The dynamic plate load test employing theLight drop-weight tester is used inearthwork and road construction to deter-mine the soil bearing capacity and thecompaction or consolidation of soils andnon-cohesive subbases, as well as for soilimprovement applications. The test methodis suited for coarse-grain and mixed-grainsoils having a maximum grain size of 63mm. The test method may be used todetermine the dynamic modulus of defor-mation of soil in the range Evd = 15 … 80MN/m2.

Further fields of application include:- Road construction- Testing of pavement bedding- Quality assurance in canal construction- Compaction test in ducts and trenches- Backfill of foundations- Railway construction.

The Light drop-weight tester being easy tohandle is specifically suited for monito-ring intra-company operations.

Advantages over the plate load tester

- Time-saving immediate evaluation ofeach measurement

- Testing in locations not readily accessible- Low tester weight- No vehicle required for loading.

The dynamic plate load test using the Lightdrop-weight tester has been approved asan indirect test method for determiningthe degree of ramming, in:

ZTVE–StB 94ZTVE–StB 95ZTVE–StB 97NGT 39

Function

Place the load plate on the prepared surfa-ce to be tested and position the loadingunit on the load plate. Connect the settle-ment meter. The drop weight is allowed todrop onto the spring element, the loadingunit produces a defined impact load andthe overall amount of compaction (or set-tlement) of the soil under the load plate ismeasured. Once the measuring routine isstarted perform three impact cycles for themeasurement. Following each cycle themeter displays the amount of settlement inmillimetres. Upon completion of a series ofmeasurements, the settlement is averaged,and the dynamic modulus of deformationis determined and displayed. Results can beprinted out on a micro-printer or on a prin-ter connected to a PC as necessary.

Permeability Constant and falling head apparatus

IntroductionThe soil permeability is a

very important factor to study thebehaviour of soil in its natural condi-tions with respect to water flow.

Two different methods oftesting are proposed: constant headand falling head. The first one is par-ticularly suitable for relatively coarse-grained soil such as sands and graveland the second is more appropriatefor fine-grained soils such as clay-like or silty soils.

fields of the construction industry to produce bitu-minous mixtures, concrete, mortars to be used instructures, fill materials, railway ballast, etc. For thisreason we have given particular attention to alltesting methods. The new EN standards have grou-ped all tests on aggregates in five main subjects:- Tests for general properties of aggregates - Testsfor geometrical properties of aggregates - Tests formechanical and physical properties of aggregates-Tests for thermal and weathering properties ofaggregates - Tests for chemical properties of aggre-gate.In the majority of cases the new EN Standards cor-respond to some existing National Standards and,apart from a few exceptions there is almost no dif-ference in the specifications of test apparatus.


Rock According to the “Committee on RockMechanics, National Academy of Sciences” rockmechanics is a theoretical and applied science concer-ning the physical behaviour of rocks subjected to stressconditions of different origin. In general terms, rockmechanics involves the study of underground workssuch as tunnels, and surface construction such as openquarries or dam foundations.

When a rock sample is subjected to defined stressconditions in the laboratory, the stress-strain dia-gram can show behaviours of non linearity also forvery small strains, hysteresis, anisotropy, fluage con-ditions, etc. All these phenomena can be mathema-tically described.

Rock mechanicsStrength and deformability tests

Strength and deformability tests

Most of the information obtainedfrom laboratory tests are substan-tially related to the stress and straincharacteristics of the tested mate-rials.The tests generally performed oncylindrical rock samples are the fol-lowing:- Evaluation of the compressive

strength and strain in uniaxialconditions

- Evaluation of the compressivestrength and strain in triaxialconditions.

UNIAXIAL TEST

q STANDARDASTM D3148, D2938ISRM: Suggested methods for determiningthe uniaxial compressive strength anddeformability of rock materials

The uniaxial test is performed applying anincreasing load at a constant rate of stressbetween 0.5 and 1.0 MPa/s. Axial and radialstrain are measured with high sensitivity(about 5x10-6). Subsequent load-unloadcycles are also carried out to obtain a cor-rect evaluation of the compressibility pro-perties.

TRIAXIAL TEST

q STANDARDASTM D2664, D5407ISRM: Suggested methods for determiningthe strength of rock materials in triaxialcompression

The triaxial test is performed on test rocksamples, contained in a rubber sealingmembrane, placed within a triaxial cham-ber and subjected to an isotropic pressure(generally between 5 and 60 MPa), keptconstant during the test. An axial load issubsequently applied; tests and measure-ments are carried on in the same way as foruniaxial tests.

Triaxial test on rock materials with measurement of axial strainsTypical Peak Strength Envelope (diagram σ1 νs. σ3)

Triaxial test on rock materials with measurement of axial strainsTypical Failure Envelope (diagram τ νs. σ)

From the measurements recordedduring the test the following informa-tion is obtained:- Rate of stress versus axial and radial

strain- Maximum or failure stress- Tangent and secant Young’s modulus

measured on the stress-axial straincurve

- Rate of radial strain versus axialstrain to obtain the Poisson’s ratio

- Maximum stress versus applied cellpressure (in the triaxial tests) todefine the failure envelope and thecorresponding properties (cohesionand friction).

Another important parameter investigatedin the triaxial tests concerns the permeabi-lity characteristics of rocks and rock beha-viour when subjected to high water pressu-re, especially for the study of dam founda-tions, and generally for underground tun-nels and cavities.

Introduction

Controls rock mechanics automatic testsystems are designed to test various mate-rials from soft sandstone to high strengthbasaltic samples. The complete test systemincludes: - Servohydraulic control console for

load application conforming the relevantstandards (see ADVANTEST code 50-C9842)

- High stiffness testing frame to beselected conforming to the size of thesample and the expected strength (seeload frames from 50-C3600/* to 50-C6600/* model page 206)

- Servohydraulic control console forlateral pressure control (see SERCOMP7 code 45-C7022/S). This unit which isderived from the standard SERCOMP 7

code 50-C7022, has been specifically desi-gned for rock testing (Uniaxial tests only)

- Hoek triaxial cell to be selected confor-ming the specimen size (Triaxial tests only)

- Strain gauges and accessories- Test software.

Operating principle

According to the reference standards,during the test the compression load onthe rock specimen shall be applied conti-nuously without shock, in such a mannerto produce a strain rate as constant as pos-sible, so that failure will occur within 5-10min of loading or alternatively at a con-stant rate of stress, within the limits of 0.5-1.0 MPa/sec. Moreover, for triaxial tests, theconfining pressure has to be maintainedconstant to within ± 1%. Our new Systemhas been designed to completely fulfilthese strict specifications of the test proce-dures. The ADVANTEST 9 is driven by asophisticated micro-processed servo-controland both uniaxial and triaxial tests can becarried on at very stable rate of stress,displacement or strain. The SERCOMP 7 pro-vides the automatic control and managingof cell pressure within the limits prescribedby the Standards. Strain measurements areperformed by means of strain gaugesapplied directly to the specimen, both in

axial and radial direction, so that Poisson’sratio and compressibility parameters areeasily and properly evaluated during thetest.Axial load and cell pressure are also moni-tored by means of load cells and/or pressu-re transducers at high levels of sensitivityand accuracy.All the test data are graphically displayed inreal time, and stored in ASCII files for furtheranalysis with appropriate software packages.

Note. For a complete list of suggesteditems to perform Triaxial and Uniaxial testsee Table on page 151.

Interactive control of cell pressure and vertical load

The remarkable performances of theAutomatic Test System can be furtherimproved for research purposes, by a custo-mised software expansion concerning thebi-directional communication between theADVANTEST 9 and SERCOMP 7 units withinteractive control of triaxial cell pressureand vertical load.

TRIAXIAL TEST

The lateral pressure is increased by pro-gramming steps and the correspondingaxial load is determined. Substantially thefailure point is continuously varied bychanging the lateral pressure.

HOEK CELLS FOR TRIAXIAL TESTS


Hoek triaxial cells are offered in fourmodels of different size; each one consistsof the following:- A cell body , complete with two quick

release self sealing couplings, for theintroduction of the hydraulic oil and cellpressure, and for air outlet and satura-tion of the chamber respectively.

- Two end caps , screwed into the cylin-drical cell body.

- Upper and lower loading caps withspherical coupling

- Two female spherical seatings connec-ted to the loading caps and for thecorrect transmission of the axial loadfrom the loading frame of the compres-sion machine to the specimen.

- A rubber sealing sleeve to separate thespecimen from the cell fluid.

Although each sleeve can be used for seve-ral tests, an order of five spare sleeves is recommended (see accessories). Measurements of axial and radial strain arecarried out with the use of electric straingauges , both in vertical and horizontaldirection, directly glued on the lateral sur-face of the specimen. The wiring connec-tions are passed within the rubber sleevethrough the cell body and loading cap.Each strain gauge must be connected to aproper electric device (see 82-P0070/1) tocomplete and balance the Wheatstonebridge. The strain gauge measurements canbe performed by automatic testing systemsdescribed on page 146 or by suitableDatalog described on page 153. The cellpressure and saturation pressure for per-meability tests are carried out by the use ofappropriate equipment (see page 156).

SPLITTING TENSILE TEST OF INTACT CORE SPECIMENS


Introduction

This test method has been developed tomeasure the uniaxial tensile strength ofrock specimens by the diametral compres-sion of a disk. The splitting tensile strengthis calculated as follows:

2 Pσt = ___ · _________

π L · D

where:P maximum compressive forceL, D thickness and diameter of rock disk.

The test specimens shall be a circular diskwith a thickness-to-diameter ratio (L/D)between 0.2 and 0.75. The diameter of thespecimen shall be at least 10 times greaterthan the largest mineral grain constituent.A diameter of 54 mm (NX) will generallysatisfy this criterion. We propose, as anaccessory to a suitable compression frame,the 50-C9032 Compression device.Considering the average splitting strengthvalue of different types of rock rangingfrom 3 to 14 MPa, a load frame of 50 kNmax. capacity should be suitable.A suitable testing machine is our Universaltester 70-T0108/E, 50 kN cap. that can ope-rate either with load or displacement con-trol.Our Sales Dept. is at your complete dispo-sal for any assistance you may need.

Rock mechanicsBehaviour of joints

Another important section of rockmechanics involves the study ofdiscontinuities within the rock mass,where the compression and shearstrength is lower.The behaviour of joints is particu-larly investigated: they are origina-ted from geological failures,breaking off the rock mass conti-nuity, along which no slidingmechanism is shown.From the rock mechanics point ofview the discontinuities are charac-terised by mechanical strength lowerthan the original rock matrix andrequire detailed test investigations.

STRENGTH OF THE JOINT WALLSIt is conventionally investigated with theSchmidt Hammer (L model). A series of 10measurements is performed both on thejoint walls and on a new failure surface.From the 10 values obtained the 5 lowerare rejected and the compression strengthis given by the average value of the last 5.This parameter is generally indicated as JCS(Joint Wall Compressive Strength), expres-sed in MPa.

SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF THE JOINTThis parameter is defined on the joint sur-face with the Barton comb (Profilometer45-D0556) used to reproduce the rough-ness profile. The line obtained is comparedwith a scale of roughness profiles, proposedby Barton, each of them is specified with aclassification number JRC, variable from 0to 20 (JRC = Joint Roughness Coefficient).

TILT TESTAn empirical method for an immediateevaluation of the JRC index is obtainedwith the tilt test (model 45-B0096). Itessentially consists of a horizontal plane,upon which the two parts of the sampleare placed, laid one upon the other alongthe joint surface. Then the plane is gradual-ly tilted until the relative displacement ofthe upper piece of the sample on the lowerone is observed.

The equipment is fitted with a lower edge,to stop the lower specimen from sliding,and one goniometer. The tilting anglemeasured is related to the JRC index withthe following:

α - ϕR

JRC = ______________

Log (JCS/σ)

SHEAR STRENGTH OF THE JOINTIt is obtained from the direct shear test.The peak resistance of a rough joint is cal-culated from the following relationship(Barton, 1973):

τ = σ · tg (ϕ + ieff)

with

JCSieff = JRC · log ______

σ

ϕR angle of residual shear friction (obtai-ned from the shear test)

σ normal pressure acting on the jointsurface, generated by the weight ofthe upper piece of the sample

JCS joint resistance (measured with theSchmidt Hammer)

Therefore the shear test is performed: - on a smooth joint to directly obtain

the shear friction angle ϕ- on a rough joint to calculate ϕ from

JCS and JRC.

From the above expression it is interestingto observe that, when the normal stress σequals JCS (compression strength of thejoint itself), ieff becomes 0. The mechanicalexplanation is that, when the joint wallsare fractured for the applied high normalpressure, the shear resistance of the rockonly depends from the shear strengthangle ϕ and not from the surface rough-ness of the joint.For the measurement of the residual shearstrength of the joint the direct shear test isalso used. The mathematical expressionrepresenting the behaviour of residualstrength is the Coulomb’s linear failureenvelope without cohesion:

τ = σ · tg ϕR

By the time this catalogue has been printed a number of new European Standards concerning aggregates will have been published andthe correspondent National Standards are automatically superseded.

The new EN Standards for aggregates have been grouped in five main subjects:

Standards- Tests for general properties of aggregates from EN 932-1 to EN 932-6- Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates from EN 933-1 to EN 933-10- Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates from EN 1097-1 to EN 1097-10- Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates from EN 1367-1 to EN 1367-5- Tests for chemical properties of aggregates from EN 1744-1 to EN 1744-3

In the majority of cases the new EN Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart from a few exceptions there isalmost no difference in the specifications of test apparatus.In order to allow clients the choice to update, if necessary, their laboratory equipment, we list below all the new EN Standards with cor-responding National Standard.Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to sup-ply the relative apparatus.

The following compression testing framesare proposed for connection to controlconsoles to form an Automatic testingsystem.They are supplied complete with basement,pressure transducer and connecting hose.Models 50-C6600/* and 50-C7600/* canalso test 250x500 mm cylinders and 300mm cubes. All the other models can beupgraded for block testing. See page 198.

The conformity of compressiontesters to the EN 12390-4 requirements interms of stability (force transfer) is mainlydue to the frame design, spherical seat andcompression platens. All our frames arefully conform to these stringent require-ments which requires the verification ofthe self-alignment of machine componentsand the restraint on movement of theupper platen using a special strain gaugedcolumn (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1) con-nected to a suitable data acquisition andprocessing system (e.g. our model 82-P0804/E).Unsatisfactory premature sample failure iscaused by an incorrect load application. Theresultant compression resistance can besignificantly lower than the true resistance.

The displacement transducer is pla-ced by the user where needed to measurefor example the deflection of a beam underflexure load. The strain transducers aretypically fixed on the specimen for directreading.

SERVOHYDRAULIC TESTING UNIT FOR RESEARCH AND ADVANCED APPLICATIONS

Main applications

The performances of the ADVANTEST 9,besides to the conventional applicationswhere the test ends with the failure of thespecimen are related to the more advancedapplications as the determination of the: - Concrete post peak residual strength- Concrete fracture toughness, from the

complete Hardening + Softening Load vs.Strain diagram

- Determination of the Elastic modulus. The increasing use of new materials in theconstruction industry has created anincreasing demand for new and more com-plex and sophisticated tests often relatedto the Deformability and Ductility beha-viour. The Ductility is a fundamental designparameter, which is related to the seismicrisks, micro-fissure due to shrinkage, thefatigue behaviour, the resistance to shocks.

Concrete workabilimeter. 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.


Used to verify the homogeneity of concre-te in relation to its workability or plasticity.This test method has particular applica-tions for concretes containing chemicaladmixtures. The apparatus consists of ametal box divided into two parts and fittedwith an electrical vibrator system. Duringoperation the concrete is poured into thefirst section of the box and then the divi-ding plate is removed. The vibrator isimmediately switched on and the time isrecorded when the concrete has spreaduniformly across the whole box.

Power: 300 W



VEBÉ TEST


54-C0195

Vebé consistometer. 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.

This test method is a variation of the sim-ple slump test and subjects the concrete tovibration after removal from the slumpcone. The time taken for the concrete to berecompacted is taken as a measure ofworkability. The small vibrating table ope-rates at a fixed amplitude and frequency,and in the test a plastic disc is placed intocontact with the upper surface of the con-crete. The test is completed when the lowersurface of the disc has been completelycoated with cement grout.



This testmethod isused todetermine thepenetrationof a hemi-sphericalmetal weightinto freshly

mixed concrete, which is related to theworkability of the concrete. The apparatusconsists of a cylinder with one end havinga hemispherical shape and the other endfitted with a graduated handle. The weightassembly is lowered through a frame intothe concrete and the penetration measu-red.


This device isused to deter-mine theworkability anddegree of com-paction of freshconcrete afterbeing placed inthe forms. It

can be used for in-situ measurements or insi-de test moulds and forms. Results can be cor-related against the slump test. The operation is very simple, insert the testerinto the concrete up to the level of the disc,after 60 seconds, a measuring rod is loweredonto the surface of the concrete and the K-slump is read directly on a scale. The calibra-ted hollow tube has a diameter of 20 mm.

GYRATORY COMPACTOR TO MEASURE THE WORKABILITY OF NO-SLUMP CONCRETE

q STANDARDNT Build 427(Scandinavian NORDTEST method)

Introduction

Since 1985 the gyratory compactor hasbeen used for concrete materials in Finlandand Scandinavia. The method is used formix design and quality control mainly inconcrete product plants, where low worka-ble and zero slump concrete is used (forsuch products as hollow-core slabs, tubesand paving blocks). The method is used for:- mix design simulating selected produc-

tion processes- specimen preparation for strength tests

(fresh and cured)- research of mix related phenomena

(workability, curing time, admixtures etc.)

The 100 mm diameter mould allows use ofa mix with max 16 mm aggregate size.The compaction principle is similar to thatfor asphalt materials, see page 344.

The machine is supplied complete with one100 mm dia. mould and accessories toperform the test.

DETERMINATION OF THE DEPTH OF PENETRATION OF WATER UNDER PRESSURE

q STANDARDEN 12390-8, ISO 7031

Introduction

The method concerns the determination ofthe depth of penetration of water underpressure. The test is performed by clampinga concrete prism 200x200x120 mm or 15cm cube between two flanges with specialcircular gaskets. The water, under control-led pressure is then applied to the surfaceof the concrete specimen. The penetrationof water is measured after the testingperiod by breaking the specimen or takingthe readings through the graduated glassburettes.Two models available: three place (code 55-C0244/A) and six place (code 55-C0244/B) version. Both of them can befitted with burettes for the quantitativedetermination of water penetration (codes55-C0244/AV and 55-C0244/BV).The systems can test concrete specimensup to 200 mm side or dia. and 300 mmhigh. Supplied complete with gaskets for150 mm cube specimens.The apparatus have to be fitted with a sui-table air compressor, maximum workingpressure 10 bar. (See accessories).

Introduction

The development and improvementof in-situ test techniques betterknown as non-destructive testmethods (NDT) are the result of theneed to investigate:

- The progressive ageing of con-crete structures

- The effect of chemical attacks onconcrete often due to air pollu-tion or to the use of chlorides inwinter to prevent icing

- The quality and integrity of newstructures

- The problems associated withhistorical buildings.

CONCRETE TESTING

NDT / Protection and repair of concrete structuresConcrete durability evaluation

The various problems thatrelate to the durability of concreteare assuming ever increasing impor-tance due to their close relationshipto the quality of the structure as awhole.The main problems associated withthe durability of concrete are nor-mally caused by the poor quality ofthe concrete itself. Knowledge ofthe degrading processes and theavailability of materials and

methods to overcome these proces-ses permit concrete to be designedboth resistant and durable. The termdurability is an abstract term, infact it would be more practical tosay the useful life of the structure. This parameter should be included inthe initial design of the structure: thedesigner must take into considera-tion the requested life cycle (in whichperiod the structure should maintainits designed criteria).

A complete range of instruments isavailable to measure the durabilityof concrete to answer most of therequisites of the operators in theConstruction Industry. Controls canalso make available considerablespecific know-how and first handexperience to help in the analysis oftest results.

For assessing the possible rate of corrosionin reinforcing bars. The time at which cor-rosion of steel may commence and the rateat which it may proceed is dependent uponproperties of the cement paste and thepermeability of the concrete. Since theelectrical conductivity of concrete is anelectrolytic process, which takes place byionic movement in the aqueous pore solu-tion of the cement matrix, it follows that ahighly permeable concrete will have a highconductivity and low electrical resistance.

MICROCORE METHOD

A proven technique for the non-destructi-ve evaluation of concrete and masonrystrength taking 28 mm dia cores.Numerous studies and experiments carriedout by University researchers confirm theimportance and reliability of this systemparticularly when used in conjunction withother non-destructive testing apparatussuch as the ultrasonic tester and the con-crete hammer. The development has beencarried out on a 28 mm dia. core sample,which due to its small size does not affectthe integrity of the structure thus permit-ting easy restoration of the cored surface.More detailed information is supplied withthe Microcore apparatus concerning theinterpretation of results. This technique canalso be used for assessing the carbonationdepth (with the appropriate reagents) andfor masonry products to verify their physi-cal condition or to evaluate the compressi-ve strength related to the direction of sam-pling.

Core preparation and compression

The flatness of core ends is essential toobtain reliable compression results so it isvery important to make sure that the tole-rance is within 0.01 mm.Furthermore the compression test shouldbe performed with a suitable compressionmachine considering that the max. requi-red load should be lower than 50 kN.Cement compression testers or small uni-versal testers may be conveniently used.

Concrete quality and homogeneity evaluation

To estimate homogeneityand structural integrity the mostappropriate methods are those thatutilise ultrasonics. The main aim isto measure the transit time ofsonic/ultrasonic pulses through con-crete. The pulse velocity is dependant

upon the density and the elasticityproperties of the material. By com-paring pulse velocities it is possibleto evaluate homogeneity and iden-tify the presence of cracks, voids,honeycombing, anomalies and non-homogeneity of elastic properties. To gather more information concer-

ning the material under study, diffe-rent test methods can be combined,particularly ultrasonic readings withrebound hammer readings so as toobtain additional information con-cerning concrete strength

Schematic view of the deflection test set up

Today, the various types of binders are wellknown, particularly cements, and they are becomingevermore sophisticated with pre-mixed cementsdesigned to satisfy specific structural requirements.For several decades, national standards have gover-ned over the production of these binders and haveled, in each single producing country, to a high levelof diversification. The current EN Standards havedrawn on the know-how of the various nationalbodies in order to arrive at a unified Standard.

We propose a vast range of machines thatsatisfy, practically all requirements.


Inorganic binders have had a role in the con-struction industry since pre-classical times and, aftersuccessive transformations, are today briefly classi-fied as cements, limes and plasters. These binders, aswell as being used singularly are often mixed in orderto produce an end product, which meets the techni-cal characteristics of the user. Certainly, as far backas the second century the Romans mixed lime withpozzolan to enhance its hydraulic properties andthen mixed this with aggregates in order to obtain“bitunium”, the forefather of today’s concrete. In the18th century lime was fired with clay in order toobtain the first hydraulic limes, which were furtherdeveloped in the following century into a cementindustry in which plaster played an important role.

Multiple Vicat testing systems (expandable up to 16 units) connected to PC

Introduction

The setting time determination of cementand mortars is one of the most importantparameters for the quality inspection and verification.Furthermore the production and use ofnew mortars, admixtures and similar mate-rials with the research activity has highli-ghted the need of sophisticated test appa-ratus capable of performing a variety ofindependent test cycles and procedures onnumerous specimens.Our new VICAMATIC apparatus fully sati-sfies these requirements and is capable ofperforming tests with start delay, adjusta-ble dropping rate auto-mode and free ordriven drop. The VICAMATIC can also beequipped by the needle cleaning devicewith water container for testing in water asprescribed by EN. The installed firmware allows the PC con-nection via the RS 232 port and the expan-sion to a Multiple Testing System with upto 16 apparatus via the RS 485 port.The high versatility and flexibility of theVICAMATIC is summarised below.

Use of a single apparatus

Main advantages:• Production of a test graph report on paper• Display of test data in real time. See

description of this unique feature in thefirmware paragraph

• Possibility of connection to a simpleserial printer (See accessories)

• Possibility of connection to PC via RS 232 port

All the above features represent the mostadvanced economical solution for generallaboratory use.

Use of a multiple system

Main advantages (in addition to theabove):• Test system expandable any time to up to

16 units for PC connection• The single units to be connected to the

PC network can be located in differentplaces and not necessarily all together(See the Software paragraph)

• Powering down one unit does not preventthe use of all other units in the network

• The units can be independently programmed

This new version of jolting apparatus hasbeen developed to fulfil precisely the EN196-1 and ISO 679. Each single require-ment as, for example, weight distribution,dimensions, structural design and workingcycle is individually checked and verified.

Construction characteristics

- The supporting frame of the machine hasbeen designed to ensure precise dimen-sions, table flatness, correct centring ofthe three gang mould on the table

- The two arms connecting the table to thepivot end can be easily removed as theyare connected by bayonet joints withlocking screws. This feature allows quickchecking of the weights of the individualparts

- The table drop height is 15.0 mm. Sincethe mechanical parts are subject to wearand tear and this height tends to decrea-se with use, the hammer has an adjusta-ble height, making it possible to restorethe initial drop height even after prolon-ged use (thousands of cycles)

- The motor and gearbox assembly isenclosed in a protective housing, whichpromotes user safety (the moving partsare inaccessible) and long life for thegearbox

- The control and cycle-counter unit isdigital and programmable via a membra-ne keyboard. LEDs and a display showsthe current selection and cycle phase inreal time

- The digital control and cycle-counterunit may also be used separately andwall mounted (e.g. on the concrete blockused as a base).

Main features- Easy verification of compliance with

Standards: weight distribution,dimensions etc.

- Rigid structure assuring stability andno distortion

SEMIAUTOMATIC AND AUTOMATIC MODELS

General description

These machines, featuring a very rigid twocolumn frame, have been designed for thetesting of the cement prism either in compres-sion or in flexure. The frames of the series 65-L10XX and 65-L11XX are already fitted respec-tively with EN compression bearing plates andEN compression bearing plates plus flexural jig.The frames of the series 65-L12XX and 65-L13XX are fitted with round compression pla-tens and have to be completed, if needed, withthe suitable compression and/or flexural devi-ces. See accessories page 292.

Safety features

All models are fitted with ram travel limit swit-ch and transparent fragment guards.

Machine accuracy

The EN 196-1 prescribe the ±1% starting from1/5 of the full range. All our models assure thisrequirement starting from 1/10 of the 250 kNscale and approx. 1/8 of the 15 kN scale.

Introduction

The testing machines wepropose provide the highest possibledegree of flexibility when makingthe correct selection according tothe test requirement. Considering that all the nationalEuropean specifications are nowsuperseded by the new EN 196 wecan outline that there are just twomain subdivisions:

A) EN MODELSB) ASTM/AASHTO MODELS

The difference between the twoStandards are basically the size ofspecimens and the specifications for

the bearing compression plates andflexural jigs. The EN requires boththe flexural and the compressiontest, the ASTM C348, C349 requirethe same with a little difference inthe flexural jig, and the ASTM C109the compression test only on 50 mm(2”) mortar cubes. Some versions ofour testers can be conveniently usedfor testing other products and speci-mens such as bricks, resins, soilcement mixtures, gypsum, rocks,microcores , etc. using the appro-priate accessory.

We propose three different group oftesters:

- The semiautomatic models 65-L10G2/C,L11G2/C, L12G2/C, and L13G2/C, whichare fitted with the motorized pumpwith flow central valve and theDigimax Plus digital display and proces-sing unit (see page 189)

- The automatic models 65-L10V2, 65-L11V2, 65-L12V2 and 65-L13V2which are fitted with the AUTOMAXsystem (see page 194)

- The advanced automatic testingsystems in various configurations whichincludes the different compression andflexural frames plus the control consolesSERCOMP 7, MCC 8 or ADVANTEST 9which can also be connected to otherframes to combine complete testingsystems (see pages 209-217).

General description

The machines consist essentially of a robu-st two column frame with an upper cros-shead which can be adjusted in height anda lower mobile crosshead moved by anelectromechanical system with a singlerecirculating ball screw powered by a DCpermanent magnet servomotor whichassures smooth application of load at con-stant speed.The stress is measured by a load cell incor-porated in the upper crosshead and thedisplacement by an encoder fitted to theDC motor.The advanced microprocessor technologyachieves a large flexibility in conductingthe test. The menu driven program givesthe operator the possibility of performingthe test under a wide range of conditionsunder load, elongation and displacementcontrol.The machines are supplied complete withhigh precision load cell and PC.Gripping systems, extensometers andaccessories are not included and have to beordered separately.

ELECTRONIC COAXIAL EXTENSOMETERS 70-C0961 SERIES

COAXIAL EXTENSOMETER FOR TENSILE STRENGTH TESTING. (PATENT PENDING)

Introduction

Extensometers used for measuring theextension of specimens in traction, particu-larly in the case of steel or brittle materials,are only able to detect strain during thefirst stage of the test, or rather, while thebrittle materials conserve their elasticity asthey have to be disconnected before failu-re. This simple and economic system, theresult of our experience in this field, fullysatisfies these requirements because:- it is applied directly to the specimen- it remains connected until breakage- it measures extension with high preci-

sion of both the elastic and plastic stageand with the appropriate simple adjust-ments, it is connectable to almost alltesting machines

- it avoids markings on the test pieces.


The extensometer is basically made fromthree separate tubular sections, joined tele-scopically to one another. The middle sec-tion, delimited by the larger diameter,

determines the measuring base, which, asis well known, must be 5 times the diame-ter of the specimen (in the case of breakingpoint measurements). The two end sectionsconsist of two mechanisms for gripping thespecimen. One carries the electrical exten-someter, the other an anvil.

Bituminous materials, a by-product of the oildistillation process, look set to remain as a constituentmaterial of road paving for some considerable time to come,being used to withstand the flexural and compressive stres-ses caused by traffic. Due to the ever increasing intensity oftoday’s traffic conditions there is a demand for higherlevels of performance from asphalt.As a result, the testing of the asphalt needs to look not onlyat the constituent mix, but the performance characteristicsas well. There is an increasing demand to monitor theasphalt for voids percentage, look at the levels of compac-tion and investigate parameters such as the stiffness modu-lus and fatigue resistance in relation to the temperature,together with frequency of load or strain application. The range of testing equipment in this section of the cata-logue is in conformity with the new European DraftStandards and the requirements of SHRP (StrategicHighway Research Program) to allow for a more in depthand realistic analysis of asphalt mixes.

The new EN standardsImportant new European Standards, specific to

Asphalt and Road testing have been introduced since theControls 5th edition catalogue was published.These new EN and pr EN produced by CEN/TC 227 RoadMaterials replace those previous National Standards andare grouped under the following headings:

Bituminous mixtures. Test methods for hot mix asphalt.Standards EN 12697-1 to 12697-44Surface dressing.Test methods. Standards pr EN 12272-1 to 12272-3Slurry surfacing.Test methods. Standards pr EN 12274-1 to 12274-5Pavement surface characteristics.Test methods. Standards pr EN 13036-1 to 13036-7

In the majority of cases the new pr EN and EN standardscorrespond to some existing National Standards and,apart for some exception, there should be almost no dif-ference in the specification of test apparatus. We willcontinue to propose, however, the test apparatus confor-ming to the National Standards.

Analysis of bituminous mixturesThe new EN 12697-1 standardTest methods: Soluble binder content

TEST METHODS: SOLUBLE BINDER CONTENT

Introduction

This European standard describes a unifiedapproach to the examination of bitumi-nous mixtures that allows some divergencein the detail of procedures followed byindividual laboratories.

Guidance on the test method is given inthe following Table.Although the apparatus specified for theseparation of mineral filler from the bindersolution obtained after extraction is of asuitably efficient level not to affect theprecision of the test, a method for determi-ning the amount of residual mineral matteris the Incineration method (pos. C of thetable) for use in those particular cases

where some doubt may exist.Methods and equipment, other than those,including automated equipment, are per-missible provided that it has been demon-strated that they provide the same resultswithin the limits of the precision given inthe Standard.

(by general laboratory apparatus)


The test method for determining the bindercontent of a test portion of bituminousmixture, normally comprises the followingbasic operations, which are shown in theTable 1:

a) Binder extraction by dissolving in a hotor cold solvent

b) Separation of mineral matter from thebinder solution

c) Determination of binder quantity by dif-ference or binder recovery and calcula-tion of soluble binder content.

The sequence of operations and choice oftest procedures to be followed are illustra-ted in the Table 1.

If it is suspected that water is present in thelaboratory sample, it should be dried toconstant mass or the water content may bedetermined by the method described in EN

12697-14 (see page 330) or the sampletreated as in EN 12697-28.

All test procedures and associated equip-ment relating to each basic operationshown on Table Å are equally acceptable.Other equipment and procedures, includingnon-extraction methods, can also be used.There are documented data to show thatthe method and equipment will provideresults with a precision no worse than thatof one of the procedures explicitly shownin Table 1.

Used for rapid filterless separation of filler(ash) from binder solution. The test is carriedout by pouring the solvent from the top fun-nel into the rotating aluminium cup. Due tothe centrifugal effect, the liquid spreads onthe wall and moves upwards, leaving mineralparticles in the cup whilst the liquid isdischarged outside through the outlet tubing.A special electronic circuit provides for a pre-set controlled ramp, which gradually increa-ses the speed to the maximum.The modelsavailable are 75-B0024/A for filler extractionup to 100 g per test, and 75-B0024/B for fil-ler extraction up to 400 g per test.

GYRATORY COMPACTORS SERIES

q STANDARDEN 12697-10, 12697-31, ASTMD6307, SHRP M-002

Introduction

These Standards specify the method forcompaction of cylindrical specimens ofbituminous mixtures using a gyratory com-pactor. Such compaction is achieved bycombining a rotary shearing action and avertical resultant force applied by a mecha-nical head.The method can be used for:

- the preparation of specimens of givenheight at a predetermined density, forsubsequent testing of their mechanicalproperties;

- the derivation of a curve density versusnumber of gyrations;

- the void content for a given number ofgyrations.

This Standard applies to bituminous mixtu-res (both those made up in laboratory andthose resulting from work site sampling),with an upper aggregate size not largerthan 37.5 mm.During operation the bituminous mixture iscontained within a cylindrical mould limi-ted by inserts and kept at a constant tem-perature within specified tolerances throu-ghout the whole duration of the test.Compaction is achieved by the simulta-neous action of a low static compression,and of the shearing action resulting of themotion of the centreline of the test piece,which generates a conical surface of revo-lution, while the ends of the test pieceremain approximately perpendicular to theaxis of the conical surface.

This method, recommended by theStrategic Highway Research Program -SHRP - SuperPaveTM System and approvedby the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) is used to produce asphalt speci-mens that best predict long term pavementperformance. The procedure has been esta-blished by the American Association ofState Highway and Transportation Officials(AASHTO).

GYRATORY COMPACTORS.MEASUREMENT OF INTERNAL ANGLE

Introduction

The importance of a precise gyratory anglehas been widely noted. The measurementof the internal angle represents, in practice,the most accurate method of calibration.This method comprises two individualvalues: - Angle between cylinder and top plate

and - Angle between cylinder and bottom

plate.The average of these two values is taken asthe “internal angle”. To date the angle cali-bration of gyratory compactors has beenconsidered a difficult task leading to widevariations in results even between machi-nes of the same brand.The 76-B0255 ILS calibration device fullysatisfies the verifications requirements tomeasure the internal angle. It can also beused on any makes of gyratory compactors.

76-B0255

ILS Internal Angle Measurement apparatus

General description and operating principle

The ILS measuring tool is an electromecha-nical device in cylindrical shape, which willperfectly suit into any gyratory mould (inaccordance with 150 mm standard).One short run (10 cycles) is performed formeasuring the internal compaction angleof the upper end plate. The ILS is read, andthe same is repeated for the bottom endplate. The all over gyratory angle is deter-mined by these two angle values.During the measurements the ILS is gene-rating an accurate mechanical load simula-ting the presence of mixture, at the correctheight of a real mix.By using different generated load levelssimilar way the angle response of the com-paction machine can also be measured.The ILS is supplied complete with Excelmacro for data capture and result calcula-tions.With the ILS one gyratory machine can bechecked in 30 minutes, with highest accu-racy and without need for hot mix.

VIBRATORY COMPACTOR

q STANDARDEN 12697-9,

EN 12697-10, 12697-32

Introduction and operating principle

This test method is used for the preparationof bituminous test specimens using avibratory compaction technique. It is appli-cable to loose mixtures and cores and isused to establish a reference density for abituminous mixture in accordance with theprocedures described in EN 12697-9, or theease of compaction as described in EN12697-10.During operation, after the mixing, prepa-ration and conditioning of a bituminousspecimen in the laboratory, the heating ofa core extracted from the road surface tocompaction temperature, or the conditio-ning of plant-mixed material, the materialor core is placed in a standard mould withattached baseplate and collar and compac-ted by a vibratory hammer.If required, the specimen is compacted torefusal and the refusal density is determi-ned in accordance with EN 12697-9.After completion of compaction, the bulkdensity of the compacted specimen isdetermined in accordance with pr EN12697-6. For loose material prepared orcompacted in the laboratory, or plant-mixed material compacted in the labora-tory, the refusal density is an indication ofthe potential maximum density, which maybe achieved under field conditions.

q STANDARD: pr EN 12697-35

This standard concerns the laboratorymixing of samples to be used for mechani-cal tests as for example compaction, indi-rect tensile, Marshall etc. The quantity mustbe related to the maximum aggregate sizeand batch size. The bituminous mix must beprepared at a prescribed temperaturedepending on the paving grade bitumen’swithin a time limited to reduce mechanicaltreatment of the aggregates. For this rea-son the mixers must be equipped with athermostatically controlled heating andmechanical speed control.

DYNAMIC TRIAXIAL TESTS ON UNBOUND MATERIALS

q STANDARDAASHTO TP46/96

Introduction

The resilient modulus is determined by therepeated load triaxial compression testsand is calculated as the ratio of the ampli-tude of the repeated axial stress to theamplitude of the resultant recoverable axialstrain. The value of resilient modulus obtai-ned from this procedure is a measure of theelastic modulus of untreated base and sub-base materials and sub-grade soils, charac-terised by a non-linear elastic stress/strainbehaviour.

The ROLLERCOMP provides a pneumatical-ly powered means of compacting slabs ofasphaltic material in the laboratory underconditions, which simulate in-situ compac-tion.Different levels of vertical force can beselected up to approximately 30 kN. As thewidth of the roller is 300 mm, the compac-tive effort of the largest static site rollercan be reproduced.Slabs produced measure 305 mm by 305mm and from 50 mm to 100 mm thick.The precise depth of a slab can be presetenabling the user to compact a certainmass of material to a selected volume thusproviding a target mix density.The ROLLERCOMP is contained within asafety enclosure with mesh panels anddoors.

The ROLLERCOMP requires a supply ofclean and dry air at 7 bar and 150 l/minand a 230 V AC supply.The apparatus comprises:- Steel framed roller compactor with roller

segment, reciprocating mould supporttable, pneumatic actuators for reciproca-ting table and applying compaction force

- 4 pressure regulators for setting levels ofcompaction force

- PLC controller for compaction start,emergency stop, automatic selection of 4compaction forces and number of rollerpasses.

Introduction

This advanced microprocessor controlledautomatic tester is used to determine thesoftening point of bitumen using, as heatingfluid, water or glycerol. The softening pointis taken by two light barriers suitably posi-tioned and the temperature measured by aPT100 sensor placed in a middle position.During operation a magnetic stirrer withadjustable speed assures temperatureuniformity in the vessel.The temperature gradient is strictly main-tained throughout the test by the electro-nic system conforming to the standards.


The apparatus comprises the followingparts:- Heater and magnetic stirrer with speed

control- Temperature probe- Glass beaker, ring and ball support,

test rings and ball support- Application and centering device

of steel balls- Light barrier system- Microprocessor system and large graphic

display with membrane keyboard- RS 232 C port for PC or printer.

Safety features

The hot plate is automatically cut off atthe end of the test cycle. The apparatus ishowever fitted with an emergency stopbutton. The test is automatically interrup-ted in case of probe failure or not correctlypositioned. The hot plate is not damaged oraffected by possible water or glycerolleakages or by the beaker failure.

VERIFICATION OF FORCE TRANSFER


Introduction

The verification of force transfer includes:

- Accuracy of force indication- Self-alignment of the upper machine

plate- Alignment of the upper machine

plate- Restraint of movement of the upper

plate

Conforming to the new EN 12390-4 stan-dard, all compression machines have to betested to verify not only the accuracy offorce indication but: the self-alignment,alignment and restraint of movement ofthe upper plate too. These verifications canbe performed using the strain gaugedcolumn 82-E0105/1 and the digital tester82-P0804/E with suitable software asdescribed on the following pages. Theaccuracy of force indication only can beperformed using the same above apparatusor the 82-P0801/E tester with a suitableload cell as shown on page 402.

platen using a special strain gaugedcolumn (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1)connected to a suitable data acquisi-tion and processing system (e.g. ourmodel 82-P0804/E). The same apparatus has been adopted

by most of the national Europeanspecifications and, recently by theEN specifications (EN 12390-4). All EN compression testers shownin this catalogue meet these strin-gent specifications.

Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is caused by an incorrect load application. The resultant compression resistance can be up to 30-35% lower than the true resistance

Unsatisfactory failure

Satisfactory failure

Importance of the verification of force transfer

The result of a compression test on acube or cylinder specimen is affectedto a considerable extent (up to 30-35%) by a non-uniform application ofthe load on the surface of the sample- this results in an exceptional forcebeing applied to the material and itspremature failure. For this reason the calibration certifi-cate for the force measurementinstrument mounted on the machinedoes not guarantee the accuracy ofthe strength result. Usually a non-uniform application of the load leadsto unsatisfactory failures as shownopposite, which cannot be related to aknown loss of strength. Since 1983, the BS 1881 specificationshave included a testing procedure inaddition to the normal calibrationtest, which verifies the self-alignmentof machine components and therestraint on movement of the upper

PORTABLE UNIVERSAL CORE DRILLING MACHINES

General description

These machines consist essentially in threemain parts:- The motor (electric, petrol driven or air

driven)- The base with adjustable feet and wheels- The support column. These three parts can be easily assembledand disassembled for transportation. Thesupport steel column can be angled withrespect to the base. The motor support ismounted on rollers and ball bearings. Thealuminium base can be easily fitted on siteby anchors, by suitable holding column orby vacuum using the appropriate accessory.Both the electric and petrol driven modelscan be used at any angle within the hori-zontal position using an appropriate fixingmaking sure that flushing water does notdrop directly onto the motor and there isno petrol leakage. For vertical ceiling coringit is preferable to use the air motor model.For internal use we suggest the machine isfitted with a water collector system. (Seeaccessories)The machines have to be completed withthe coring bits. See table on next page.
