BS 1881-5 Concrete Testing - Standard Test Other than Strength of Hardened Concrete

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BS 1881-5 testing. BS 1881-5 is a British standard that specifies a method for determining the compressive strength of concrete specimens.

BS 1881-5 Concrete Testing - Standard Test Other than Strength of Hardened Concrete

The standard outlines the procedures and equipment required to perform the test, as well as the calculations necessary to determine the compressive strength of the concrete sample.

The test involves casting cylindrical or cubed samples of the concrete to be tested, allowing them to cure for a certain period of time and then subjected to a compressive force until they fail. The maximum force achieved during the test is recorded and the compressive strength of the concrete is calculated based on the dimensions of the sample and the maximum force recorded.

The compressive strength of concrete is an important property used in the design of concrete structures. BS 1881-5 provides a standardized method for determining this property, ensuring results are accurate and reliable, and enabling engineers and architects to design safe and durable concrete structures.
