Find the length to diameter ratio to determine which test will be used. If the ratio is greater than 1 use diametrical test. But if the ratio is between 0.6 and 1 use axial test 3. The axial test was

3. LABORATORY TESTS USED TO STUDY THE STRENGTH OF CALCARENITES There are 3 distinct methods or tests used to determine the strength of calcarenite which are needle penetration test‚ unconfined compression test‚ and direct shear box test. 3.1. Needle penetration test This form of test is done on site on an outcrop rock that is not disturbed; this is usually done by extracting a sample material for oncoming laboratory work. The penetration tests are done on two different sections of outcrop with an

The Charpy impact test‚ also known as the Charpy V-notch test‚ is a high strain-rate test which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. The Charpy test specimens were made according to the dimensions of standard ASTM A370. One of the main reasons for concern for natural composites laminates generally is the low values

Abstracts The first article I read was about retirement. The article reasserted a lot if not all the points we hit on during the semester. It basically covered three different areas of retirement that need to be looked at seriously. The first being social security‚ which most of us know is looking very dim as far as our generation is concerned. The second was benefit plans offered by employers. And last was the savings that people accumulate until their retirement. The article basically tried

To test the aptitude of the person‚ it requires manual dexterity whereby a joint in a person’s arm is controlled and predetermined stress in which the direction of the arm and the joint moves will lead to the deflection and it will be measured (Wagner‚ 1977). This experiment is widely known all over the world and it is usually used especially to capture the motor performance in a variety of situations. According to Bryden and Roy (2005)‚ they did the study to examine the influences of handedness

for one minute‚ then the rubber bands will stretch to approximately 50 cm. Aside from building the contraption for testing the bands‚ this experiment was “rinse and repeat” with 3 different temperatures. First‚ the contraption was built to test the effects of temperature on the elasticity of rubber bands. The three temperatures being tested were 100˚C (boiling)‚ 0˚C (freezing)‚ and room temperature (around 23˚C). 1900 ml of each type of water was put into a pot. A thermometer was put in

no need for distillation. Next‚ a solubility test was given. When one drop of the unknown liquid was added to about 2 mL of water‚ the sample was tested to be soluble due to the dissolubility between the two compounds. By following the chart that was given on the sheet‚ the pH of the solution was tested. Since the two litmus did not changed color‚ the sample was identify to have a low molecular weight and a neutral substance. Based on the solubility test‚ some possible
