REVIEW:
Assessment of bond strength via tests :

SLANT SHEAR TEST

FLEXURE TEST

SCHEDULE FOR SLANT SHEAR TEST:

Moulds are casted and ready for testing.

Test will be conducted in 3-4 days.

TESTS FOR ASSESSMENT OF SHEAR STRENGTH OF BOND:

Slant Shear Test:

The slant shear test is one of the most wide spread bond tests.
The interface is subjected to a stress state of compression

combined with shear.

Reliable and Consistent method, because it simulates a stress
state close to the actual use and failure mode of concrete.

Fig# Slant Shear Test.

SLANT SHEAR TEST:

Potential factors and remedies considered.

1. Surface Roughness.
2. Provision of Binding materials.
3. provision of Wire mesh.
. Mould Specification.
. Steel mould
. Dim: Width 6
Depth 6
Length 12

OUR CONSIDERATION:
Surface roughness.
Provision of Shear keys.
Shear keys provided by inserting
wooden piece in concrete cast.
At Casting Time.

After Drying

OUR CONSIDERATION:
Provision of Wire mesh.
A wire mesh is provided at interface and bolted in
substrate via studs.
Studs in the substrate is
via drilling holes.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:
FLEXURAL TESTING:

FLEXURE TEST ( Shear strength):

Scope of the test:

In Increasing the slab thickness by overlaying of new concrete layer

over casted Concrete layer.
In Increasing the Pavement Thickness by providing Overlay over
substrate.

Our Objective.
We will Show that what is the effect of overlay provision over
substrate on the overall strength of member.
How strength is varied as compared to monolithic member.
The best remedies to strengthen the member.

FLEXURE TEST:
MOULD DIMENSIONS:

TESTING:

FLEXURE TEST:
Substrate Nominal strength 3 * 6:
Concrete Strength = 4 Ksi
Steel strength
= 60 Ksi
Flexure strength
Under ACI Provisions
Min. Reinforcement = .002 b h
= 0.036 in2
Max. Reinforcement = 0.0206 b d = 0.37 in2
Area = .11*2 = 0.22 in2 OK
Select #3

FLEXURE TEST:
Substrate Nominal strength:
Nominal Flexural strength
Mu = 15.7 K-in
Under One point load test:
Wu = 4Mu/L = 2.1 kips
Shear capacity = 1.52 kips
Applied Shear = 1.05 kips OK

FLEXURE TEST:

FLEXURE TEST:
Substrate + Overlay Nominal strength:
Nominal Flexural strength

Mu = 42.10 K-in
Under One point load test:
Wu = 4Mu/L = 5.6 kips
Shear capacity = 3.8 kips
Applied Shear = 2.8 kips OK
Also Reinforcement is under ACI Provisions.

FLEXURE TEST:
One sample fully casted to check the strength of unit casting.

Concrete Mix design:

Capacity of mixer available at lab. Is up to 180 lbs.

Design strength of concrete considered is 4000 psi.
To get 4000 psi, M20 concrete MIX Ratio is 1:1.5:3
Mould volume = 6*6*30/123= 0.625 ft3
Volume of 6 moulds = 6*0.626 = 3.75 ft3
Calculation in Excel sheet as:

FLEXURE TEST ( Shear strength):

Our consideration for remedies.

Roughness.
Provision of Epoxy.
Provision of Wire mesh.
