III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

A. Fresh Concrete

The test conducted on fresh concrete is workability of the concrete.

1. Workability: Workability is defined as the ability of the fresh concrete to fill the mold under proper vibration without reducing the quality. Properties which influence workability are water content, aggregate, cement type, age of concrete and admixtures. Workability increases with increase in water content i.e. more water content results in bleeding and segregation of concrete mix which in turn results in the strength reduction. Chemical admixtures also increase the workability. Concrete mix from undeniable graded aggregate results in harsh mix having low slump which in turn results in low workability.

Comparatively substitution of ground nutshell debris with fine total gives lesser usefulness than control blend and M-sand supplanted concrete.

???????B.  Compressive Strength

Following 28 days of restoring the example shapes are tried for compressive strength under compressive testing machine. The test tests are taken out from restoring tank somewhere around 4 to 5 hours of testing. For one path something like three examples are to be tried.

The cube is placed under the compressive testing machine in a way that the load should be applied opposite faces of the other than the casted faces. The load is applied on the cube continuously at the rate of 140kg/cm2/min. the load is applied till the load break down and no more load can be taken i.e. the red needle returns back.

The ultimate load is noted. The compressive strength is determined by dividing the ultimate strength by cube cross sectional area. Similarly the remaining two specimens are also tested. The average of the three specimens of one particular batch of mix gives the compressive strength. The variation of the strength of individual strength should not exceed more than 15%. If exceeded repeat the test.

???????C.  Test for split Tensile Strngth

The specimens are tested for tensile strength for 28 days on split tensile testing machine. Specimen, preferably from different batches, should batches, should be made for testing for each selected age, specimen are removed from water before 4 to 5 hours of testing.

Where as in cylinders they are placed under the compressing testing machine in a way that the load is applied along the length of the cylinder. Continuous load at the rate of 140 kg/cm2/min is applied till the maximum resisting load is attained, i.e. the red needle returns back. The ultimate load is noted. Split tensile strength of the specimen is calculated by diving the two times of the load during the test by dividing the two times of the load during the test by the surface area, calculated from the mean dimensions of the section. For one particular batch the average of the specimen are to be done. The average of the three specimens of one particular batch of mix gives the compressive strength. The variation of the strength of individual strength should not exceed more than 15%. If exceeded repeat the test.

???????D. Test for Flexural Strength

Flexural strength of the concrete is done using the universal testing machine. The bearing surface of the supporting and loading rollers of the machine should be cleaned. The prism should be placed under the rollers in such a way that the load is applied on the uppermost surface of the casted mould. The prism should be marked at the spacing of 13.3cms a part.
