Assess problems
Stress load testing is often called for when anchor bolt problems are reported; it provides a mechanical method to quickly expand a sample size and detail whether you have a freak breakage or a more serious problem with the design or materials. Applying the same stress loads to a range of anchor bolts we can help identify the problem and find a solution. We can apply the same techniques when Shear Testing.
Detailed reporting
Stress tests are only useful if they produce information you can work with and ensure you meet any relevant Health and Safety regulations. We provide all the paperwork and reporting essentials to meet best practice and ensure you’ve got all the information you need to make the right decision. Our reports detail the performance results of different anchors bolts tested alongside details of the stresses applied and our experienced team can provide advice and recommendations based upon them.
Bond Testing
Direct tensile or bonding strength between two layers is important if repairs to concrete structures or additional overlays and screeding on existing concrete is to be structurally sound. The bond test is a means of testing the bond between concrete and other materials. A measured force is applied to the bonded materials if the bond is greater than that of the material under stress it will fail.
