Concrete Testing Using Geotechnical Software

Concrete Testing Using Geotechnical Software Concrete testing actually includes different methods for testing such as- testing for concrete moisture, surface areas, and concrete within the slab. One common method is moisture meters which is used for finding surface with higher moisture. Though, this method can’t be pursued when are to obtain a quantifiable value of the moisture or we are to indicate whether the slab is sufficiently dry to start covering.

How Geotechnical Software is used for the Concrete Test?

Before you begin with any concrete testing service for testing, it is very crucial to make sure that the building’s environment remains consistent at least 48 hours before the test. It is done to allow the slab to reach a steady equilibrium with favorable conditions of the building. The ideal temperature should be whatever the plant

initially emits during any regular operation. This is because it feeds the accurate date to the geotechnical software and that information can be later utilized in the lab.

Concrete Testing Methods Certified by ICRI: Three methods that are covered by ICRI are-

1) Calcium chloride test for moisture vapour emission rate of a slab.

2) The surface relative humidity test.

3) The slab internal relative humidity test.

Here we are defining the most popular test with calcium chloride.

Quick Tip: You can always opt for concrete testing services to avoid the hassles for yourself.
