  1. Material Quality control and production **Material Testing** • There are a lot of material tests, it would be impossible to go over all of them. However, I will quickly go over the most important as I see it. I would recommend you print out FM-572 : Material Testing, and tab each different test and review the test that I outline below. • Most likely on the PE Exam it will ask a word problem about a specific material testing technique. So if you understand the basics of the test you should be able to get the problem correct. • Concrete: • Compressive Strength Test (ASTM C 39-96) • Slump Test (ASTM C143-90a) • Air Content Test (ASTM 231-97) • Flexural Strength Test (ASTM C 78-94) • Soils: • Moisture – Content Determination (Oven Dry Method) (ASTM D 2216-90) • Specific Gravity of solids Determination (ASTM 854-92) • Grain-Size Analysis and distribution (ASTM D 422-63) • Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, Plasticity Index Determination (ASTM D 4318-95) • Lab Compaction Characteristic (ASTM D 1557-91) • In Place Density Determination • Sand Cone method (ASTM D 1556-90) • Nuclear Moisture and density tester • CBR Tests (ASTM D 1383-94) • Asphalt (Bituminous Mixtures): • Bitumen Testing (Penetration Test (ASTM D 5-86) • Spot Tests www.learncivilengineering.com
