CONCRETEFiX 5.6 – Extrinsic Factors That Alter True Measured Concrete Strength
22 May @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
By Dr Roderick Rankine, Rod Rankine Engineering Solutions cc
The measured strength of concrete has life changing implications for safety, profitability and survival of construction companies. Not only does this strength depend upon the composition and intrinsic properties of the concrete tested, but also on the way the concrete is tested. Testing standards
attempt to standardise testing methodologies to ensure that measured strength is true, reliable and accurate. Departures from these standards (whether intentional or unintentional) can have profound effects on measured strength (usually to the downside) often leading to needless disputes and even bankruptcy. This presentation will demonstrate the most common mistakes by means of reference to case studies and laboratory demonstrations and it will endeavour to offer guidelines to avoid pitfalls.
