Precast slab load test
RE Team performed the Precast Slab Load Testing to monitor the structural condition of a school in Phuket.
Project
Air void location detection Test
RE conducted the Air Void Detection Test to locate the air void inside RC beams at a factory.
Structural Health Monitoring
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is widely applied to various types of infrastructures including high-rise buildings, bridges and tunnels. It is used to detect damage in the structure, determine damage locations, identify types of damage and assess the severity of damage.
Load Carrying Capacity Analysis
The Load Carrying cCapacity Analysis is used to determine the capacity of the analyzed members or structures to determine whether the tested structures can carry the given load condition or how much load they can withstand. This analysis is necessary when the design details are missing or when there is uncertainty in the design or construction.
Building vibration due to road traffic
RE investigated real-time floor acceleration in a 5-story building which was displaying vibration and shaking due to road traffic.
Structural assessment and load test of a RC roof top
RE conducted the Structural Assessment (including rebound hammer and Ferroscan) and the Load Carrying Capacity Test on the roof top of a 4-story hospital in the Ubonratchathani province, Thailand.
Chemical anchor pull out testing
RE conducted the Chemical Anchor Pull Out Test. This chemical anchor was installed on the floor as moment-resisting support of the new column. Thus, this chemical anchor must be able to resist tension force according to the design. In this case, proof load according to the design was applied. Test frames, load cells, displacement transducers, and the data acquisition system were used.
Hotel Floor Load Test
RE was requested to conduct floor load testing in hotel at Chon buri province, Thailand to determine the actual load carrying capacity compared to that specified in the original design.
Pull-off test
The Concrete Pull-Off Test is used to determine the direct tensile strength of a concrete or the bond strength of concrete mixture. The testing equipment consists of metal test circular plates, threaded rods, epoxy, a core drill, a load cell, a displacement transducer, and a hydraulic jack.
Post tensioning Slab Load Testing
A building under construction experienced cracks on its post-tensioned slab. The structural capacity was questionable for a designed live load of 400 kg/m2 and a super imposed dead load of 250 kg/m2. Thus, a load test was conducted to determine the actual floor capacity.
