Found a Great Product! Test Specimen Box | Curing Tools

2021/04/06

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Test Specimen Box

Did you know this?

This is a product for insulating test specimens.

This product looks like it'll come in handy, especially during the winter.

 

And it's great because it's so convenient—you can just take it right to the test center.

As a general rule, test specimens should not be subjected to impact.

I think this styrofoam jig is a good idea because it significantly reduces the risk of the items shifting around or falling over inside the box.

There seem to be two sizes; I think they correspond to before and after demolding.

I haven't used it myself, so I'm not sure about that, but is it okay to keep using the same mold even after demolding?

Well, I'm looking forward to hearing from people who've actually used it lol

 

See you later.

Why Do We Spray Water on Concrete? | An Explanation of Curing for Sprayed Concrete and Formwork for Beginners

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re now in the second half of July, and it’s already unbearably hot on construction sites during the day, isn’t it? ^^ Concrete is just like people—if you leave it alone at this time of year, it loses moisture rapidly. But enough of that. In this post, I’ll be discussing “Why it’s a good idea to water concrete”…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This happened a while back, but I was on-site at a construction project overseeing an assembly inspection when the person in charge pointed out, “Oh, this is a T-joint,” and the whole site went dead silent lol. Since T-joints are generally prohibited under the Japan Society of Civil Engineers’ Standard Specifications for Concrete, it’s only natural that when one is found…

Basics of Surface Moisture Content | Explaining the Four States of Aggregate Moisture Content and On-Site Mix Design Adjustments

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re working on a slope and think, “The mortar feels unusually runny today,” the standard practice is to suspect the sand’s surface moisture content before questioning the mix design. (I even suspect the workers’ water-to-cement ratio, lol.) Basically, even if you think you’ve followed the mix design specified in the mix chart—say, “W/C=50%”—the sand might contain…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Around this time of year, just before the rainy season starts, things are kind of slow at work. Since I’m often out on site, I get a lot of questions. Recently, one of the younger guys asked me, “Enta-san, how do you actually handle overlapping?” It’s a good question, lol. But I couldn’t come up with an answer right away…
