The Construction Materials Group provides a level of assurance to designers and construction teams that the primary building materials meet established criteria through accepted standardized testing protocol.
RJLG’s experts work with clients to minimize material replacements, reduce the likelihood of deterioration, avoid potential failures and investigate and evaluate construction materials related problems and failures. Engineering support, trained technical personnel and a team approach have been the keys to success.
Expansion and shrinkage due to thermal conditions can reduce the strength of concrete and related construction materials. There are several methods of thermal analysis which can help predict the durability and usefulness of construction materials as well as determine the impact such thermal conditions may have had on in-place materials. These methods include:
- Adiabatic Calorimetry
- Thermal Expansion Analysis
- Time of Set Testing
