Two types of test were used : the pull-out test on a coated bar from a specimen cast in a metallic cylinder used as a lost form, and the pulling test, in which one pulls shows a good correlation with the tensile strength of the concrete. 1, record 1, English, - pulling%20test

Deux types d'essai ont été mis en œuvre : l'essai d'arrachement d'une barre enrobée d'une éprouvette coulée dans un cylindre métallique faisant office de coffrage perdu, et l'essai tirant, dans lequel on tire sur une armature scellée dans un cylindre en béton par ses deux extrémités. 1, record 1, French, - essai%20tirant

Concrete specimen C3 was used in two capacities : it was considered to be a young, hardening concrete throughout the 28-day moist cure process and a mature concrete with varying free moisture content gradient during the time period of 43-74 days after casting. 2, record 2, English, - free%20moisture%20content

Influence de la maçonnerie : les briques contiennent de l'argile, du sable très fin, des carbonates et de l'oxyde de fer (entre 2 et 4 %). La teneur en eau libre, qui dépend de la porosité (20 à 30 % en volume) et de la cuisson, est comprise entre 1 et 4 % en volume. Pour les bétons, cette teneur peut aller jusqu'à 10 % dans les murs humides et froids, et la porosité est d'au moins 27 %. Le pH du béton frais non encore carboné est de 12,5, mais en vieillissant la carbonatation la fait descendre à 7. 2, record 2, French, - teneur%20en%20eau%20libre

The slab had an average concrete compressive strength of 4, 037 psi(48 MPa). The second specimen was tested without a slab. The concrete of each bulb-tee specimen had an average 28-day compressive strength of 9, 800 psi(68 PMa). Each girder specimen contained the same number and configuration of longitudinal prestressing strands and same amount of web reinforcement. Three shear tests are also reported. 1, record 3, English, - longitudinal%20prestressing

Rammer test.... A test for investigating the resistance of a geotextile to puncturing by falling stones has been developed by the Bundesanstalt fur Wasserbau... in Germany. This test is carried out with a special 30 kg rammer.... The rammer test is carried out with a fall height of 2. 0 m or 1. 0 m depending on the stone to be used in the construction. The geotextile is placed on a layer of compacted sand and kept in place by means of a 170 kg concrete ring. Three tests are carried out in the machine, cross and diagonal direction of the geotextile. A geotextile is considered to be puncture resistant in this test if all the tests carried out show no puncturing. Each test is carried out on a new specimen. 1, record 4, English, - rammer%20test

Percement. Cette caractéristique résulte de la concentration d'une sollicitation mécanique qui peut être engendrée soit à vitesse lente, soit à vitesse rapide (effet dynamique). Le percement d'une nappe est complexe à analyser, car il dépend d'un grand nombre de paramètres que l'on maîtrise difficilement (vitesse d'impact, forme du poinçon ou du projectile). On recense trois types de processus de percements différents qui aboutissent à une altération du géotextile: perforation (coupure), poinçonnement (effet de compression), éclatement (mise en pression localisée). Expression du résultat: selon la méthode d'essai, le percement s'exprime sous forme d'une dimension géométrique, d'une force ou d'une pression. 2, record 4, French, - essai%20de%20percement%20au%20poin%C3%A7on
