CE 202 Engineering Materials Lab

CE 202 Engineering Materials Lab In Civil Engineering, materials used for structure such as cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate etc. have the foremost importance to ensure the quality of the structure. For getting assurance about the good quality of the structure different laboratory tests are needed to be performed. This Lab manual mainly deals with the common and universal laboratory tests of different types of construction materials. Normal consistency and initial setting time determination of cement; compressive strength of cement mortar; sieve analysis of fine and coarse aggregate; specific gravity and absorption capacity of fine and coarse aggregate; abrasion test using Los Angeles machine; compressive strength of concrete; sampling and testing of brick; are described according to ASTM (American Standards for Testing Materials) standards.
