A testing machine that may be used to conduct test site, compressive, bend, and shear test. 

Test that determines the stress level of a metal can withstand without failure when subjected to an infinitely number of repeated alternating stresses.

Test that determines the resistance of a metal to penetration. 

The minimum stress required to create permanent deformation in a metal.  

A testing machine that may be used to conduct hardness test on metals.

The process of treatment of concrete against evaporation of moisture and temperature condition. 

Important property of concrete to be able to withstand deterioration due to weathering action.  

The ease in which a uniform mass of freshly mixed concrete can be moved without segregation into final position in which the concrete is allowed to harden.  

A test manifests the resistance of cement against deformation caused by temperature change.  

Comprises tests performed by a company receiving new supplies that the shipment meets the standards called for in the order.

 Involves test done by a company on their own product that the product meets the manufacturer’s standard. 

 Required gage length (GL) of the specimen in the Tension Test of rebars.

Structural units cast in molds in a factory that have reinforcing members not under tension as they are being cast. 

Tension is applied to steel reinforcing after the concrete has been poured and allowed to harden.  

Structural units cast in molds in a factory that have stresses introduced as they are being cast or after casting.  

The process used to lower the subsurface water on a site so that the excavation remains dry and stable.  

Construction equipment primarily used for lifting, lowering and transporting loads. They move loads horizontally by swinging or traveling

Process of bringing earthwork to the desired shape and elevation.

The lifetime of an equipment over which it can profitably survive in the face of improved models, changes in methods and techniques etc.  

Type of foundation that transmits load to the soil throughout the footing. 

These are relatively long, slender members that transmit foundation loads thru soils strata of low bearing capacity to deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing capacity.  

Cement which does not only harden by reacting with water but also form a water – resistant product. 

Raw materials used to produce cement.

The measure of the relative fineness of sand.

 This test determines the silt and clay composition in aggregates. It also indicates the cleanliness of the aggregates.

This test evaluates the structural strength of aggregates.  

Moisture condition of an aggregate where the surface is dry but the voids and interior of the aggregate are fully saturated.  

The most important material in concrete which is held together by cement paste.  

A standard test done on reinforcing steel bars to check its amenability to bending in structural applications.

A mechanical test used to evaluate the tensile properties of steel
