BALANCES
Balances are a general purpose laboratory apparatus
used either for soil, aggregates, cement, concrete
or asphalt testing.
CONTROLS supplies a wide range of electronic models

suitable for different applications ranging from large central
laboratories and on-site laboratories, to educational facilities.
We also offer a range of accessories and calibration weights
for periodically checking the balances.

TESTING SIEVES
We offer a comprehensive range of full depth
testing sieves with 200 mm, 8”, 250 mm, 300 mm,
12”, 315 mm and 450 mm dia., with woven
wire cloth and perforated plate conforming
to the different Standards. 15
We can also supply models with round holes
perforated plate from 1 to 100 mm diameter upon
request. All frames except the 450 mm dia., and wire
cloth sieves are manufactured from stainless steel.
Perforated plates are made from tinned steel.
Sieves having the same nominal diameter are
designed to nest inside each other.
Using 200 mm (8”) sieves it is possible to test up
to 1000 g of aggregates and 3000 g with the
300 mm (12”) dia. sieve.

STANDARD
▸ EN 196-6 ▸ EN 933-10
DIGITAL AIR JET SIEVE SHAKER
The Digital Air Jet Sieve Shaker is ideal for determining size distribution 15
of fine particles from 5 microns to 4 mm. The highly efficient and fast
sieving action is achieved by creating a pressure difference across the
sieve. The apparatus allows complete customisation of test processes in-
cluding pressure, nozzle speed and test duration, all shown on the LCD
display. Specifically, for the cement industry, the digital air jet sieve has
pre-set test standards that guide the user through sieving stages. After
each cycle, the mass is entered and calculated to determine if sieving
needs to be repeated, progress to the next sieve aperture size, or fin-
ished. Upon completion a test report is generated and can be exported
to PC or printed using serial connection.
The machine features an integrated pressure transducer and a manu-
al regulation valve to adjust the pressure difference in a range of 1.0
– 9.9 kPa (depending on the vacuum unit). Vacuum unit 15-D0413/A1
provides pressure difference up to 6.5 kPa exceeding Standards require-
ments.

24 Chemical tests
In all areas of civil engineering, and especially

in soil mechanics, during the design stage
the engineer must ensure that the analysis of
soil properties relates directly to the relevant
foundation or structure. Using procedures
involving extracting, examining and testing
representative samples, the
engineer can compute a model that very
closely simulates the real situation. In recent
years, we have seen a significant contribution
to experimental analysis resulting from
more sophisticated testing procedures,
updating of many International Standards,
and publication of good testing manuals
and procedures. We offer a large range
of testing equipment which satisfies all
requirements in this area.

In all aspects of civil engineering and particularly in

soil mechanics, during the design stage the engineer
must ensure that the analysis of soil properties
relates directly to the relevant foundation or
structure.
Using procedures involving extracting, examining
and testing representative samples the engineer can
create a model very close to the real situation.
In recent years we have seen a significant
contribution to experimental analysis resulting
from more sophisticated testing procedures,
updating of many International Standards and
publication of good testing manuals and procedures.

SOIL MECHANICS TRIAXIAL TESTING

The typical consolidation test determinates the rate and
magnitude of consolidation of a soil specimen restrained
laterally and subjected to a number of successive increments of
vertical loads.

The complete line includes front loading oedometer, Constant
rate of strain cells and hydraulic consolidation cells starting
from the analogue configuration up to the fully automatic
PC-controlled systems.
Front-loading oedometer
• Standard front-loading oedometer, manual application of vertical load using dead weights.
ʰʰ Electronic version: displacement transducers connected to automatic data acquisition system
(see page 84)
ʰʰ Analog version: dial gauge or digital dial gauge
• Fully automatic oedometer : comes loaded with the new environmentally friendly
Electromechanical Servoactuation (EmS) technology. Silent, compact and high-performing,
enabling you to expand your laboratory gradually and seamlessly
Constant rate of strain

In addition to the most common incremental loading consolidation, different tests can be performed
measuring the magnitude and rate-of-consolidation of saturated cohesive soils using continuous
controlled-strain axial compression allowing also the base excess pressure. Consolidation test using
CRS cells can be performed more quickly, without compromising results accuracy, compared to the
standard incremental loading test. Using CRS cells it is possible to monitor continually the excess pore
pressure so tests can run at maximum speed further increasing test specimen throughput. The CRS
Cell is used in conjunction with other equipment (Load frame, pressure system, pore pressure and
accessories).
For this reason, different options are available:

Incremental loading consolidation test can also be performed with a different device that applies ver-
tical force using hydraulic pressure. This type of cell overcomes the complexity usually associated with
hydraulic oedometers and allows more information to be gathered from the soil sample. (e.g. low
permeability by hydraulic pressure).
• Hydrocon: Specific for saturated soil test; two testing modes are available - manual and electronic -
with automatic data acquisition . During the test back and axial pressure
are applied and vertical settlement, pore pressure and variation of volume are measured.
• Hydrocon Unsaturated (SWCC): specific for unsaturated soil test; electronic testing mode with
automatic data acquisition is available; Its base is fitted with a High
Air Entry Stone (HAES) which enables a soil/water characteristic suction curve to be obtained. In
addition to Hydrocon model air pressure is also applied.

DIRECT/RESIDUAL SHEAR
In the traditional direct shear test, the soil specimen
(either undisturbed, remoulded or compacted)
is placed in a rigid metal box that is composed
of two halves that can slide horizontally and be
26
27
subjected to a normal constant stress. The main
limitation of the conventional shear box is that it is
not possible to apply the shearing action for a large
displacement of the soil specimen. To overcome
this problem, ring shear apparatus, also known
as Bromhead Apparatus, has been developed. In
the ring shear apparatus, the specimen is annular
shaped and subjected to a normal constant stress
and an unlimited rotational displacement.
The product range includes :
Direct/residual shear machines - Small shear box

Digital direct/residual shear machine: it can be fitted in two different versions:
ʰʰ Analog version: two dial gauges and one load ring
ʰʰ Electronic version: two displacement transducers and load cell connected to automatic data acquisi-
tion system , the typical solution where central data acquisition is used.

TRIAXIAL SYSTEMS
The stress-strain behavior of soil is typically
investigated with a triaxial test on undisturbed,
remoulded or compacted specimens which are
28 subjected to different stress levels and variable
drainage conditions, simulating as closely as
possible the site conditions and the effects
of constructions, excavations, embankments,
landslides, wave propagation, and seismic events.
Types of triaxial test: test descriptions
TOTAL STRESS - UNCONSOLIDATED UNDRAINED (UU) TEST

STANDARD Piston
▸ ASTM D2850 ▸ BS 1377:7 ▸ EN17892-8 ▸ NF P94 070 ▸ NF P94 074
With this method the shear strength is measured in terms of total stress.
The soil specimen is not allowed to consolidate and maintains its original
structure and water content, so that its compressive strength depends only Lateral pressure
on the level of geostatic stress in the field.
SOIL a = porous stone
Tests are often carried out on three specimens from the same sample, each b = rubber membrane
subjected to a different confining pressure. Provided that the soil is fully c = cell fluid
saturated, the shear strength will be the same for each test and is known as
“undrained shear strength”.
EFFECTIVE STRESS - CONSOLIDATED UNDRAINED (CU) TEST

Piston
STANDARD
▸ ASTM D4767 ▸ BS 1377:8 ▸ EN 17892-9 ▸ NF P94 070 ▸ NF P94 074
With this test method the shear strength is measured in terms of effective
stress. The specimen is saturated and allowed to consolidate (i.e. to change Lateral pressure
its structure and water content) at the required confining pressure. At the
end of consolidation, the specimen is subjected to a controlled application SOIL
of load, during which no drainage is allowed and pore pressure is measured.
The effective stresses are calculated as the difference between the total No drainage
stress and the pore pressure.
Since the shear strength is affected by the effective stresses, by testing a set Pore pressure (transducer)
of three specimens at different confining pressures, it is possible to define
the failure envelope according to Coulomb’s model and define the param-
eters c’ and φ’.

EFFECTIVE STRESS - CONSOLIDATED DRAINED (CD) TEST

SOIL
This test method is the same as the CU test except that the failure stage is
carried out very slowly to prevent any change in the pore pressure inside the Drainage
specimen, which is allowed to drain. Calculation of the total and effective
stresses and failure envelope are also the same as for the CU test. Pore pressure (transducer)

PERMEABILITY TEST IN A TRIAXIAL CELL

Piston
STANDARD
▸ ASTM D5084 ▸ BS 1377:6 ▸ CEN-ISO/TS17892-11
The triaxial permeability test involves saturating and consolidating the
specimen to the required effective stress in the same way as for a CD or
CU test, but instead of a failure stage, water is allowed to flow through Lateral pressure
the specimen under a pre-defined difference of pressure and the rate

of flow is measured. From this measurement the soil permeability is
calculated.
Upper drainage
Three independent pressure systems are used for this test; for the con-
fining pressure, the drainage line to the top of the specimen and the
drainage line to the base of the specimen. Pore pressure
Lower drainage (transducer)
UNSATURATED SOIL TEST
An unsaturated testing system is used when effective stress testing is

required that recreates in-situ conditions of specimens that exist in a Inner cell
SAMPLE
naturally unsaturated state (for example soil that is higher than the wa-
ter table).
In an unsaturated soil, the voids between soil particles are filled with External cell
both air and water, and surface tension forces create a negative pore
water pressure (or suction) which pulls the soil particles together and
increases the strength of the soil. Saturating the soil (replacing the air
High Air Entry
in the voids with water) results in a positive pore water pressure which Stone
pushes the soil particles apart and reduces the overall strength. Because
of this, it is not desirable to saturate unsaturated or partially saturated
material, but neither can it be tested using conventional triaxial systems Air Pressure
because the negative suction causes problems with the equipment.
The solution to this problem is to use what is known as the axis trans-
lation method, which involves applying an air pressure via the top cap
(in the same way as a water back pressure in a saturated test). This raises
the pressure inside the sample to a positive value which, in turn, applies
a positive pressure to the porous stone and to the pore water pressure
transducer.
A special triaxial cell is used for the test, with a double wall which allows Volume change Volume change
the total change in sample volume to be measured, and a high air entry measurement measurement
stone in the base pedestal that allows water to pass but not air.
Using the axis translation method with the double-wall cell allows effec-
tive stress testing to be carried out on unsaturated material.

Standard Triaxial Cells
Standard triaxial cells essentially consist of a transparent polycarbonate

chamber which has a top plate with a piston assembly fitted into it and
a double flange base fitted to the bottom. Three (or six) simple thumb-
screws are used to clamp the upper part of the cell to the base, which
makes assembly and disassembly a very quick and simple operation. 28

Banded triaxial cells
Banded triaxial cells essentially consist of a transparent chamber which is banded to prevent excessive ex-
pansion during the test. The design of the cell ensures vertical alignment of the loading ram by clamping the
Perspex wall separately from the cell top. From 28-WF4070 to 28-WF4150 cells can be fitted with an upgrading
kit so that tests can be performed using local strain transducers and bender elements.

Pressure Systems
We propose three different systems:

• Oil/Water pressure apparatus
• Air/Water pressure system
28 • Hydromatic Standalone - pressure/volume controller
Each system has to be completed with the De-airing water system. See page 82
Standalone - pressure/volume controller

Hydromatic standalone is a general-purpose
water pressure source and volume change con-
troller. It is driven by a stepper motor, which en-
ables the unit to measure the volume change.

Triaxial system accessories:

Measurement of maximum shear modulus (Gmax)
Bender elements
Bender elements allow the measurement of the maximum shear modulus (Gmax) of a soil sample and from
this data to evaluate the stiffness of a soil. Gmax is generally associated with shear strain levels of about 0.001%
and is a key parameter in small strain dynamic analysis, such as those to predict soil behavior or soil structure
interaction during earthquakes, explosions or machine and traffic vibrations.

Local strain measurement – Mini On-sample
In conventional triaxial testing the stiffness of a soil specimen is deter-

mined by external measurement of displacement. Such measurement
is subjected to errors caused by deflections of loading system and bed-
ding of the porous stone onto the ends of the specimen. Local axial and
radial strain transducers avoid these problems. 28

DYNAMIC TESTING SYSTEMS
The dynamic properties of soils such as stress-strain

characteristics have been recognized as integral
28
31 aspects of construction designs such as maritime,
seismic engineering, placement of foundations
of machines or structures subjected to different
dynamic interactions.
The correct description of the soil behavior within
the range of small deformations is also an extremely
important element in the prediction of the
movement of structures and how they interact with
subsoil, and thus has a great impact on the quality
of the actual mapping of the internal forces in the
structural system of the whole building, including
the foundations.
Stiffness modules for very small deformations are
now recognized as fundamental properties of the
soil. For this reason, in geotechnical engineering
we commonly use information obtained from
laboratory and field dynamic and seismic tests to
solve conventional problems of interaction between
the building and the subsoil.
Different systems are available to cover the wide
range of deformations due to these different causes.

ROCK TESTINGN
32 Rock Mechanics
According to the “Committee on Rock Mechanics, National

Academy of Sciences”, rock mechanics is a theoretical and
applied science concerning the physical behaviour of rocks
subjected to stress conditions of different origin.
In generai terms, rock mechanics involves the study of
underground works such as tunnels and surface construction
such as open quarries or dam foundations.
When a rock sample is subjected to defined stress conditions
in the laboratory, the stress-strain diagram can show
behaviours of non linearity also for very small strains, hysteresis,
anisotropy, fluage conditions, etc. All these phenomena
can be mathematically described. This section details our
complete range of testing equipment including automatic test
systems for the determination of Elastic Modulus and strength
characteristics of rock specimens in uniaxial and triaxial
conditions.

ROCK BEHAVIOUR OF JOINTS/ CLASSIFICATIONS TESTS
Behavior of joints and classifications tests
The behavior of joints is of particular interest: joints originate from geo-

logical failures; a break in the rock mass continuity along which no vis-
ible displacement has occurred. From a rock mechanics point of view,
the discontinuities are characterized by a mechanical strength lower
32 than the original rock matrix and require the following detailed test
investigations: shear strength of the joint performed with the rock shear
box apparatus, tilt test performed with the tilt test apparatus, surface
roughness of the joint performed with the profilometer (Barton comb).

33 Moisture/Density relationship
34 CBR California Bearing Ratio
35 Field density, Bearing capacity
38 Soil permeability
When highway or railway earthworks,

bases, sub-bases and dams are prepared for construction, it is
necessary to compact the material mechanically, in order to
achieve the necessary high degree of density. In doing so, this
procedure increases the shear strength, reduces the permeability
and water absorption, and reduces the tendency to settle under
repeated loading. Compaction is therefore defined as the process of
increasing the density of a material by mechanical means.
To simulate the procedure adopted in the earthworks to obtain a
defined level of compaction in the field, several laboratory tests
have been developed over the years; differing only by the varying
level of energy applied to the soil sample.
The equipment detailed here in Section 33 concerns mainly Proctor
moulds and compactors. Section 34 covers the CBR equipment and
various models of loading presses, while the equipment presented
in Section 35 covers all devices for determining the in-situ density
and various models of plate bearing test apparatus.
Finally, Section 38 details the various apparatus for determining the
permeability of soil.

BALLOON METHOD
The principle of operation is similar to the sand replacement method

but the hole is filled with a rubber balloon into which water is pumped.
35 The amount of water can be easily determined by reading the gradua-
tions marked on the cylinder or piston stress. Two versions are available:
the ASTM/AASHTO/CNR model, with 1.6 liter capacity (35-T0131), and
the NF version, with 3 or 6 liter capacity (35-T0134 and 35-T0134/A).

Mineral aggregates are used in all fields of the

construction industry to produce bituminous mixtures,
concrete, mortars
to be used in structures, fill materials, railway
ballast, etc. For this reason we have given particular
attention to all related testing methods.
The new EN standards, which in the majority
of cases correspond to ASTM and old National
standards, have grouped all tests on aggregates
in five main areas:
-Tests for general properties of aggregates
-Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates
- Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates
-Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates
-Tests for chemical properties of aggregate
Sections 47 and 48 include all testing equipments

required by the above specifications.

Basic components can be identified in:
POWER AND CONTROL SYSTEM (PCS)
50 We offer three automatic model variants which differ, dependent upon the technical level, com-
plexity and type of test that is being performed:
Standard automatic Quality more sophisticated and flexible advanced automatic versatile
Control compression testers automatic PCS for compression testing system
and flexure testing
These models are mainly dedicated to routine failure tests (compression, flexure and indirect tensile).
Our range is completed by Automax Pro-M and Automax Multitest models, allowing the performance of
more advanced test methods beyond the classic compression tests, as:
• The determination of the Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson Ratio
• The execution of tests under displacement and strain control particularly important for FRC Fiber Reinforced
Concrete characterization

All versions feature high speed pumps that will close the daylight above the specimen at the fastest speed on
the market allowing a very high throughput of samples.
In addition PILOT Pro and AUTOMAX product ranges can be completed with Link-LAB Connectivity packages,
WEBCARE remote assistance service and i-Lab cloud Services. See page 178.

DISTANCE PIECES SELECTION GUIDE
The following schematic and table are a suitable application guide to help you in the selection of required distance pieces.
How to select distance pieces 50

When selecting distance pieces, all possible combinations of tests and specimen sizes should be considered.
The total vertical space that needs to be filled by distance pieces can be calculated using: (v - h) - 10 mm
Where:
v = Maximum vertical clearance of the machine (mm)
h = Specimen height (mm)
10 mm = typical free vertical space to be left after specimen positioning
For example:
v= 350 mm
h = 150 mm
Vertical space to be filled = (v-h) - 10 mm = (350 -150)-10 = 190 mm (approx.)

We offer a wide range of flexural frames, that are controlled by our Power and Control Systems PILOT Pro
or AUTOMAX Pro, or by computerized control console AUTOMAX Multitest. Collectively, this range satisfies
all requirements, from the standard flexural tests on concrete beams, to the more complex tests under dis-

50 These high stiffness flexural frames have been especially designed for displacement-controlled testing on
advanced construction materials, e.g. Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete. These tests are
significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness
requirements which are satisfied by these new models (200 kN/mm).
This remarkable result comes from the frame sections, but it is also derived from the particular layout which
keeps the specimen aligned (parallel testing mode) with the frame crossbeams maximizing structural rigidity.

▸EN 12390-13 ▸ EN 13412 ▸ EN 13286-43 ▸ ASTM C469 ▸ ISO 6784 ▸ DIN 1048 ▸ BS 1888:121 ▸ UNI 6556
An important test determination is the elastic deformability of concrete and mortar under load before first
cracking, which can be: longitudinal (Young’s modulus) and transverse (Poisson’s modulus). The specimen
has to be submitted to a sequence of loading and unloading cycles under controlled load/unload rate. The
testing system shall control the oil flow with precise increments and decrements and measure longitudinal
and transverse deformation.
The test can be performed with different methods:

55-C0222/G
Electronic universal Compressometer-Extensometer
Aluminium and steel structure incorporating a high precision inductive
transducer. Three units are generally recommended for axial deforma-
tion measurement. They can be easily applied to the specimen by a pair
of elastic bands supplied as standard.

Air entrainment meters

STANDARD
▸ EN 12350-7 ▸ ASTM C231 ▸ AASHTO T152
54 The air content of fresh concrete is a very important parameter for eval-
uating the behavior of concrete when exposed to weathering and for
verifying variations in air content due to the use of chemical additives
to increase the workability. The EN and ASTM standards describe test
methods using two different apparatus: the water column type (e.g.
our model 54-C0170/L) and the pressure gauge type (e.g. our models
54-C0170/F and 54-C0170/D), which have the following advantages
over the water column type:
• quick action clamping system
• unaffected by changes in barometric pressure
• direct pressure gauge readings.

CONCRETE TESTING NDT - NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Concrete durability evaluation

The various problems that relate to the durability of concrete are assuming ever increasing importance due
to their close relationship with the quality of the structure as a whole. The main problems associated with the
durability of concrete are normally caused by the poor quality of the concrete itself. Knowledge of the degrad-
ing processes and the availability of materials and methods that can overcome them, permits the design of
58 concrete that is both resistant and durable.
A complete range of instruments is available to measure the durability of concrete in response to the vast ma-
jority of requirements of operators in the construction industry. CONTROLS has specific knowledge and con-
siderable first-hand experience in this field which can be made available to help in the analysis of test results.

The Microcore method is a prov-

and masonry strength, taking 28
mm diameter cores which can
then be used for compression
tests. Taking the cores does not
affect the integrity of the struc-
ture because of their small size,
so the cored surface can be easily
restored.
This technique can also be used for
assessing the carbonation depth (with

Inorganic binders have had a role in the construction

industry since pre-classical times and, after successive
transformations, are today briefly classified as cements,
limes and plasters. Today, these various types of binders
are well known, particularly cements, and they are
becoming ever more sophisticated with pre-mixed
cements designed to satisfy specific structural
requirements.
We produce a vast range of machines and testing
equipments described and illustrated in the following
Sections, that satisfies practically all requirements
prescribed by the testing Standards.

70 Steel mechanical testing
and universal testers
This section illustrates universal testing machines

and accessories, in particular those used for
performing mechanical tests on steel specimens
and reinforcing bars. Some of the machines shown
however, for example the electromechanical models,
can be used for testing other construction materials,
in compression or flexure, such as concrete, cement,
rock, asphalt and soil.
Most of the machines are PC-controlled, assuring a
simplification and rationalization of test procedures
together with all the other advantages associated
with the use of the most modern electronic and
technological practices.

Used to recover the solvent liquid after its use for the extraction tests.
This unit has been designed to recover non-flammable solvents and
consists of two stainless steel chambers, one for dirty solvent and the
other for the cleaned solvent. An electric heater in the left-hand cham-
ber distils the solvent, which then passes through a water cooling sys-
tem and drops into the second chamber ready for re-use in a new test.
Once the process is completed, a temperature switch automatically
stops the heating elements. Supplied complete with 10 m plastic tube,
tube clamps, sieve insert 0.6 mm opening and one lid. Particularly use-
ful to recover solvent used with the Paper filter extractor, Wire mesh
extractor, Kumagawa extractor, Reflux extractors, Filterless centrifuge

Vacuum pumps and air drying system
VACUUM PUMPS
Vacuum pumps are used for a number
of applications, primarily in systems
requiring de-aired water.
If water vapour is present in the air
being sucked by the vacuum pump, it
mixes with the pump oil, producing an
emulsion which, in notable concentra-
tions,may cause serious damage to the
pump. For this reason it is important, 86-D2004/5 86-D2004/3
for water de-airing applications, to use
a suitable drying system such as the
