Method for 'in situ' testing of the compression strength of cement conglomerates or the like and apparatus for implementing this method

摘要

A method and a relevant apparatus are described for "in situ" testing of the compression strength of cement conglomerates or the like, in which the ageing of the conglomerate is accelerated by raising the values of temperature and humidity of the medium in which the ageing takes place. The method comprises sequentially: a phase of preparing at least one sample 6 obtained by pouring a predetermined quantity of cement conglomerate to be tested into a hollow mould; a phase of introducing the sample thus prepared into a container 12; a phase for adjusting the physicochemical parameters of the medium of the container, depending on the predetermined operational steps; a phase of extracting the sample from the container; a phase of removing the sample, which has been aged, from the hollow mould; a phase of placing the sample into a device 4 intended to measure its compression strength; a phase of actuating the device, which gives rise to the generation of signals dependent on the measured compression strength; a phase of processing and displaying the signals.
