Our Company Research & Development
A name, a meaning Our pride and joy
The growing demand for testing, prompted not only by all the
major works under construction (dams, highways, high speed railways
system, tunnels, bridges, etc.) but also by new Standards involving anti-
seismic construction, land protection, and building recovery, has crea-
ted new requirements for the automation of tests and the development
of advanced equipment.
The major contribution to this exceptional growth has been

given by our team of hardware and software specialists as, practically
all new machines and testing systems are electronically controlled.
During the months preceding March 1968, when the com-

pany was founded, we were involved, among other things, with fin-
ding a company name related to our business.
A name that could be understood in all languages, or almost all, and
also easy to pronounce: CONTROLS.
From the beginning, we wanted to operate both domestically

and internationally, in order to best utilize our technical skills and to
best serve the needs of the market. Milan, being strategically located
and having a particularly favourable climate for industrial and com-
mercial growth, was chosen as our base of operation.
At the same time, our international network was taking form,

with the creation of agents, distributors, branches in France, Mexico,
Spain and the United Kingdom, while our R&D Service was developing
new and sophisticated testing systems that have placed us in the fore-
front worldwide.
The recent acquisition of Wykeham Farrance UK, world leader

in the field of advanced geotechnical testing system, has further
strengthened our organization.
Now CONTROLS is an international group and the major

world producer of testing equipment.
Our R&D specialists,
often collaborating
actively with the
academic world, have
developed highly specialized
testing systems
and updated a number
of new products.

CONTROLS since its beginning, has been the designer and

manufacturer of its testing machines and accessories which, after
nearly forty years of activity, now numbers several thousands.
This impressive number and the series production are the

way to good quality products at an acceptable cost. This is due to
our production organization based on complete internal standardi-
zation, real time inventory management and a rigorous acceptance
inspection of all parts ordered from outiside suppliers.
A team of expert assembly technicians and meticulous

testing of the final products complete our effort.

TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(DCP)
The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer)

is an instrument designed for the rapid in-
situ measurement of the structural proper-
ties of existing road pavements constructed
with unbound materials. Continuous mea-
surements can be made down to a depth of
approximately 850 mm or when extension
shafts are used to a recommended maxi-
mum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layers
have different strengths the boundaries can
be identified and the thickness of the layers
determined. Correlation’s have been establi-
shed in earlier work (Van Vuuren 1969,
Kleyn and Van Heerden 1983, Smith and
Pratt 1983) between measurements with
the DCP and CBR (California Bearing Ratio)
so that results can be interpreted and com- 16-T0012/A
pared with CBR specifications for pavement
design. A typical test takes only a few minu-

tion that would normally require the dig- Spare parts

General information
The settlement of soil-supported foundations and the change in earth pressure due to small movement of retaining walls or other earth
supports, the yield of soil caused by local application of load, are determined by the relation between stress and strain in soils. The expe-
rimental investigation used to determine the stress-strain relation is usually carried out with a triaxial compression test. During the test,
the undisturbed soil samples are gradually stressed up to failure, which corresponds to the maximum shear strength. The test is perfor-
med placing a cylindrical soil sample, enclosed in a rubber membrane, in a triaxial cell and subjecting it to an isotropic fluid pressure.
An axial load is subsequently applied on the specimen through a loading piston in such a way that the soil sample is deformed at a con-
stant rate of strain. Generally speaking, the triaxial tests are performed to simulate different types of stress and drainage conditions that
can occur in the subsoil because of the effect of building constructions, excavations, tunnelling etc.
Three different triaxial tests are usually performed (see page 71) for total and effective stress measurement.
Our production of triaxial equipment

Controls manufactures a large sophisticated state of the art range of triaxial equipment which is detailed below. Automatic machines for
compression and extension tests, computerised and integrated systems have also been developed for advanced testing laboratories, where
not only conventional tests are carried out.

Geotechnical: Triaxial 28
SOIL TESTING General information
TRIAXIAL TEST METHODS
Total stress measurement

Unconsolidated Undrained (UU) tests
With this method the shear strength is measured with respect to Piston
total stress. The soil specimen (assumed saturated) is not allowed
to consolidate, maintains its original structure and water content, a = porous stone
so that its resistance only depends on the level of geostatic stress b = rubber membrane
c = cell fluid
in the field.
Tests are usually carried out on three specimens of the same sam-
Lateral pressure
ple, subjected to different confining pressure. Provided that the
soil is fully saturated, the effective stresses at failure is the same SOIL
for each test.
The Mohr envelope, plotted with respect to total stress is horizon-
tal and the shear strength is constant and equal to Cu (undrained
shear strength).
Effective stress measurement

Consolidated Undrained (CU) tests
Piston
With this test method the shear strength is measured in terms of
a = porous stone
effective stress. At least three specimens are allowed to consolida- b = rubber membrane
te (i.e. to change its structure and water content) at different level c = cell fluid
of confining pressure before failure. Due to the fact that shear
strength increases raising the effective stresses the Coulomb’s Lateral pressure
model can be applied in terms of effective stress:
SOIL
τ = c′ + σ′n tg ϕ′
where: τ = shear resistance; σ′n = effective normal stress No drainage
c′, ϕ′ = parameters of Mohr envelope in terms of effective stress
During the failure stage the specimen is not allowed to drain and Pore pressure (transducer)
pore pressure is measured, so that the effective stresses are calcula-
ted as the difference between the total stress and the pore pressure.
Effective stress measurement Piston

Consolidated Drained (CD) tests
a = porous stone
This test method is similar to the “CU” test as the shear strength b = rubber membrane
c = cell fluid
can be related to the applied level of stress. At least three speci-
mens are allowed to consolidate at different levels of confining
Lateral pressure
pressure. The failure stage is carried out very slowly to prevent
the increase of pore pressure inside the specimen, which is SOIL
allowed to drain. The total and effective stresses are the same.
Mohr circles are drawn for effective stresses at failure and the drainage
parameters c′ and ϕ′ are determined from the Mohr envelope.

SOIL TESTING Pressure system
Introduction
The pressure system provides two
separate lines for the desired con-
stant pressure inside the triaxial cell
(cell pressure system) and in the spe-
cimen drainage line (back pressure
system).
A specimen volume change indicator
(burette or electric transducer type)
is also provided.
The system is completed by a de-
aired water apparatus and by all
other accessories such as tubing,
valves etc.
Different solutions are available
depending on the type of test to be
performed.
- Air/water bladder system actuated by

a pneumatic compressor
- Motorised oil and water system
- Automatic digital controllers
connectable to PC.
For clarity we propose first the most Triaxial pressure system for three triaxial cells (see also page 82)
common layout systems and then all
single components.
All single components can however
be combined to provide different
solutions conforming to the user’s
requirements.

q STANDARD 70-T0108/E equipped

ASTM D3967 with the 50-C9032 device
for splitting testing
of rock disk
Introduction
This test method has been developed to

measure the uniaxial tensile strength of
rock specimens by the diametral compres-
sion of a disk. The splitting tensile strength
is calculated as follows:
2 P
σt = ___ · _________
π L· D
where:
P maximum compressive force
L, D thickness and diameter of rock disk.
The test specimens shall be a circular disk

with a thickness-to-diameter ratio (L/D)
between 0.2 and 0.75. The diameter of the
specimen shall be at least 10 times greater
than the largest mineral grain constituent.
A diameter of 54 mm (NX) will generally
satisfy this criterion. We propose, as an
accessory to a suitable compression frame,
the 50-C9032 Compression device.

Rock mechanics 45
ROCK AND AGGREGATES TESTING Behaviour of joints
Another important section of rock

mechanics involves the study of Typical roughness profiles
discontinuities within the rock mass,
where the compression and shear
strength is lower.
The behaviour of joints is particu-
larly investigated: they are origina-
ted from geological failures,
breaking off the rock mass conti-
nuity, along which no sliding
mechanism is shown.
From the rock mechanics point of
view the discontinuities are charac-
terised by mechanical strength lower
than the original rock matrix and
require detailed test investigations.
STRENGTH OF THE JOINT WALLS

It is conventionally investigated with the
Schmidt Hammer (L model). A series of 10
measurements is performed both on the
joint walls and on a new failure surface.
From the 10 values obtained the 5 lower
are rejected and the compression strength
is given by the average value of the last 5.
This parameter is generally indicated as JCS
(Joint Wall Compressive Strength), expres-
sed in MPa.
SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF THE JOINT

This parameter is defined on the joint sur-
face with the Barton comb (Profilometer
45-D0556) used to reproduce the rough-
ness profile. The line obtained is compared
with a scale of roughness profiles, proposed
by Barton, each of them is specified with a
classification number JRC, variable from 0 Therefore the shear test is performed:

47 Aggregates
New EN European Standards ROCK AND AGGREGATES TESTING
and relation with the existing National Specifications
y the time this catalogue has been printed a number of new European Standards concerning aggregates will have been published and
B the correspondent National Standards are automatically superseded.
The new EN Standards for aggregates have been grouped in five main subjects:
Standards
- Tests for general properties of aggregates from EN 932-1 to EN 932-6
- Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates from EN 933-1 to EN 933-10
- Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates from EN 1097-1 to EN 1097-10
- Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates from EN 1367-1 to EN 1367-5
- Tests for chemical properties of aggregates from EN 1744-1 to EN 1744-3
In the majority of cases the new EN Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart from a few exceptions there is
almost no difference in the specifications of test apparatus.
In order to allow clients the choice to update, if necessary, their laboratory equipment, we list below all the new EN Standards with cor-
responding National Standard.
Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to sup-
ply the relative apparatus.

Concrete Testing
INTRODUCTION
Concrete structures are a great deal more

than sand, gravel, cement and water stirred up and
left to harden into usefully shaped lumps.
Considerable care and knowledge are required to
produce quality concrete. We propose a complete
range of testing equipment to satisfy practically all
the EN and other National Standards.

Importance of the verification of force transfer
The conformity of compression Satisfactory failure

testers to the EN 12390-4 requirements in
terms of stability (force transfer) is mainly
due to the frame design, spherical seat and
compression platens. All our frames are
fully conform to these stringent require-
ments which requires the verification of
the self-alignment of machine components Unsatisfactory failure
and the restraint on movement of the
upper platen using a special strain gauged
column (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1) con-
nected to a suitable data acquisition and
processing system (e.g. our model 82-
P0804/E).
Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is
caused by an incorrect load application. The
resultant compression resistance can be
significantly lower than the true resistance.
Verification of the force transfer of a compression

tester by the strain gauged column 82-E0105/1,

Introduction
Since 1985 the gyratory compactor has

been used for concrete materials in Finland
and Scandinavia. The method is used for
mix design and quality control mainly in
concrete product plants, where low worka-
ble and zero slump concrete is used (for
such products as hollow-core slabs, tubes
and paving blocks). The method is used for:
- mix design simulating selected produc-

- One, two or
pressure. The test is performed by clamping three specimens
a concrete prism 200x200x120 mm or 15 can be tested at
cm cube between two flanges with special the same time
circular gaskets. The water, under control-
led pressure is then applied to the surface
of the concrete specimen. The penetration
of water is measured after the testing
period by breaking the specimen or taking
the readings through the graduated glass
burettes.
Two models available: three place (code
55-C0244/A) and six place (code
55-C0244/B) version. Both of them can be
fitted with burettes for the quantitative
determination of water penetration (codes 55-C0244/AV

be connected to automatic testing systems
as for example the MCC 8 Control console
(see page 210) or to a suitable digital

Quality and homogeneity evaluation CONCRETE TESTING
Ultrasonic Cross-hole Pile Integrity Testing
ULTRASONIC CROSS-HOLE TEST SYSTEM

FOR PILES AND FOUNDATIONS
Introduction
The cross-hole ultrasonic test method is

used to check the continuity of deep foun-
dations, diaphragm walls or stay plates by
detecting cracks or faults along the shaft
and the tip. The homogeneity and quality
of concrete are measured and defects are
located accurately, even at the top of a pile.
Sonic logging is a continuous measure-
ment of sound velocity along the pile
between an emitting sensor and a receiving
sensor lowered down two or more tubes
held together with reinforcements. The
tubes are inserted before the concrete is
poured and must reach the base of the pile.

CEMENT VICAMATIC: Automatic recording Vicat apparatus (continued)
General description
The apparatus consists essentially of a mecha-

nism of four different stepper motors, which
control the sliding weight with needle, the
rotation and displacement of the table and
the chart drum. The displacement of the sli-
ding weight with needle is recorded by a pen
in the chart drum and also read by an encoder
for the data acquisition.
The automation of the system is obtained by
an electronic control chard with microproces-
sor. The front control panel includes the mem-
brane keyboard with large graphic display.
Firmware specifications
The test parameters to be set are the following:

- Reference standards: EN, ASTM, General

- Frequency of penetrations (to be selected
between frequency input by user or cal-
culated semiautomatically)
- Free fall mode or driven fall mode
- Adjustable test start delay

INTRODUCTION
This section illustrates universal

testing machines and accessories in particular for
mechanical tests on steel specimens and on reinfor-
cing bars. However some of the machines shown, for
example the electromechanical models, can be used
for many other applications for testing in compres-
sion or flexure other construction materials such as
concrete, cement, rock, asphalt, soil, etc. Most of the
machines are controlled by PC assuring a simplifica-
tion and rationalisation of test procedures with all
the other advantages associated with the use of the
most modern electronic and informatics’ techniques.

General description
The machines consist essentially of a robu- 70-S16C2 with 86-D2999,

st two column frame with an upper cros- PC and printer
shead which can be adjusted in height and
a lower mobile crosshead moved by an
electromechanical system with a single
recirculating ball screw powered by a DC
permanent magnet servomotor which
assures smooth application of load at con-
stant speed.
The stress is measured by a load cell incor-
porated in the upper crosshead and the
displacement by an encoder fitted to the
DC motor.
The advanced microprocessor technology
achieves a large flexibility in conducting
the test. The menu driven program gives
the operator the possibility of performing
the test under a wide range of conditions
under load, elongation and displacement
control.
The machines are supplied complete with
high precision load cell and PC.
Gripping systems, extensometers and
accessories are not included and have to be
ordered separately. See accessories.

- Quick and accurate measurement: less than 30 minutes
Introduction - No hot mix asphalt required
- Fits to any make gyratory compactor
- No height extrapolation needed
The importance of a precise gyratory angle - Reproducibility is in 0.01°Class, fitting to all standards
has been widely noted. The measurement
of the internal angle represents, in practice,
the most accurate method of calibration.
This method comprises two individual
values:
- Angle between cylinder and top plate
and
- Angle between cylinder and bottom
plate.
The average of these two values is taken as
the “internal angle”. To date the angle cali-
bration of gyratory compactors has been
considered a difficult task leading to wide
variations in results even between machi-
nes of the same brand.
The 76-B0255 ILS calibration device fully
satisfies the verifications requirements to
measure the internal angle. It can also be
used on any makes of gyratory compactors.

General description
and operating principle
The ILS measuring tool is an electromecha-

nical device in cylindrical shape, which will
perfectly suit into any gyratory mould (in
accordance with 150 mm standard).
One short run (10 cycles) is performed for
measuring the internal compaction angle
of the upper end plate. The ILS is read, and 76-B0255 Complete set
the same is repeated for the bottom end
plate. The all over gyratory angle is deter-
mined by these two angle values.
During the measurements the ILS is gene-
rating an accurate mechanical load simula-
ting the presence of mixture, at the correct
height of a real mix.
By using different generated load levels
similar way the angle response of the com-
paction machine can also be measured.
The ILS is supplied complete with Excel
macro for data capture and result calcula-
tions.
With the ILS one gyratory machine can be 76-B0255 During calibration procedure.

INTRODUCTION
Testing equipment for the construction

Industry includes a large number of item that cannot
be located in a specific application field such as con-
crete, cement, asphalt etc. but are for general use or
for more than one application.
Furthermore, the ISO 9000 standards concer-

ning Quality Assurance Systems require a number of
measuring instruments which are employed either in
the central or field laboratories to check the testing
equipment and the environmental conditions. All
these items along with the core drilling equipment
and mobile laboratories have been grouped in this
large “General” family.

VERIFICATION OF FORCE TRANSFER

Introduction
The verification of force transfer includes:
- Accuracy of force indication

- Self-alignment of the upper machine
plate
- Alignment of the upper machine
plate
- Restraint of movement of the upper
plate
Conforming to the new EN 12390-4 stan-

dard, all compression machines have to be
tested to verify not only the accuracy of
force indication but: the self-alignment,
alignment and restraint of movement of
the upper plate too. These verifications can Verification of the force transfer of a compression tester by the strain gauged column 82-E0105/1

Satisfactory failure
Importance of the verification
of force transfer
The result of a compression test on a

cube or cylinder specimen is affected
to a considerable extent (up to 30- Unsatisfactory failure
35%) by a non-uniform application of
the load on the surface of the sample
- this results in an exceptional force
being applied to the material and its
premature failure.
For this reason the calibration certifi-
cate for the force measurement
instrument mounted on the machine
does not guarantee the accuracy of
the strength result. Usually a non-
uniform application of the load leads
to unsatisfactory failures as shown
opposite, which cannot be related to a
known loss of strength.
Since 1983, the BS 1881 specifications
have included a testing procedure in
addition to the normal calibration
test, which verifies the self-alignment
of machine components and the
restraint on movement of the upper Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is caused by an incorrect load application.
The resultant compression resistance can be up to 30-35% lower than the true resistance

AIR COMPRESSORS AND ACCESSORIES
We propose two different models for con-

tinuous working pressure up to 800 kPa
(model 86-D2015) or up to 1000 kPa
(model 86-D2018). An auxiliary air reservoir
50 litres cap. is recommended for use with
the 86-D2018 model. The use of an air
dryer (model 86-D2019) is also recommen-
ded to avoid damages to valves, machine
components etc.
