Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing

-
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing is non destructive technique which is used to check the quality of Concrete, In this method of testing we identify internal cracks, voids, strength and compaction quality of the concrete structure. 


In this method we find out the velocity of pulse inside the concrete. 

 The higher velocity shows the good quality and lower velocity shows the bad quality of Concrete. 

  Velocity can be calculated by formula:-

 (V)  =   Distance b/w trns. & rcvr. (L)   /                    Reading of machine or time take                                      by pulse (t)

There are three methods of Ultrasonic pulse velocity technique. 

1:- Direct Method
2:- Semi Direct Method 
3:- Indirect Method

1:- Direct Method:-  This method is more relaibale and accurate. In this method we place the tansducer on one end and on other end we place the receiver.

As shown in Image:- 


2:- Semi Direct Method:- This method is not as accurate as direct Method, In this method we place transducer and receiver inclined surface( At an angle). 

As shown in Image:- 

3:- Indirect Method:- This method is least accurate method of testing, In this method we place transducer and receiver on the same surface.

    Nice information about
    ultrasonic pulse velocity test is performed on concrete to assess the quality of concrete by passing ultrasonic pulse velocity through it as per IS: 13311 (Part 1) – 1992.

    types of shock absorbers:Regardless of the application, all safeguards fit into one of three comprehensively characterized types customary adjustable safeguards, swaggers or spring seat shocks.

IMPORTANT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

Important mechanical properties of materials:- ELASTICITY:-  In this property body regains completely its original shape & size then it is called perfectly elastic body. Elastic limit marks the partial break down of elasticity beyond which removal of load result in degree of permanent deformation. Steel, aluminium, copper, may be considered to be perfectly elastic within certain limit   ·      Plasticity:- The characteristics of material by which it undergoes inelastic strain beyond those at the elastic limit is known as plasticity.   This property is particularly useful in operation of pressing and forging. When large deformation occurs in a ductile material loaded in plastic region, the material is said to undergo plastic flow. Ductility:- It is the property of material in which a material can be drown out longitudinally to a reduced section, under the action of tensile force.   A ductile material must possess a high degree of plasticity and strength.

  The volume of one 50 kg bag of cement is 34.5 litres   About 19 litres (38%) of water is required to hydrate 50 kg cement in sealed container.   The ordinary Portland cement when tested for its compressive strength at 28 days   according to the method describe by the standard specification, yields a minimum compressive strength of 43N/mm2 is called 43 grade  cement . Too fine cement is susceptible to air set and deteriorates earlier.   The setting time of cement can be controlled by varying the quantity of gypsum in cement. Sometime with the addition of water to cement, a premature set occurs within 5 minutes. This is called false set an is due to  the presence of anhydrous gypsum which is formed due to grinding of gypsum with too hot clinker .this is not to be worried .continuous mixing aggregates , cement and water will break the false set without  harming any property of the concrete .  The ability of cement to maintain a constant volume is known as soundness of cement. The abilit

Brick, Classification of bricks and properties of good bricks.

  Brick:- Basically brick is a type of block which is used for the construction of wall and other building components. Classification of bricks - The brick can broadly be divided into two categories ·          1. Unburnt brick :         T he unburnt or sun dried bricks are dried  with the help of heat received from sun after the        process of moulding .These bricks can only be used in the construction of temporary and     cheap structure.  Such bricks should not be used at places exposed to heavy rains. ·            ·          2 . Burnt bricks- These are classified in four categories. ·         (i) First class Bricks:-   These bricks are table – moulded and of standard shape and they are burnt in kilns.   The surfaces and edges of the brick are Sharp Square smooth and straight.   First class bricks have all qualities of good bricks.   These bricks are used for superior work of permanent nature.    (ii)  Second class Bricks T hese bricks are ground moulded and t
