Towards standard tests for abrasion resistance of concrete report on a limited number of tests studied, with a critical evaluation
Abstract A comparative study on a limited number of existing abrasion tests for concrete has been done, with the intention that it should serve as a basis for the preparation of a recommendation for a standard test or tests. A summary and classification of the tests is presented, together with a critical evaluation. In view of the number of different tests currently being used in various countries, it is clear that no single test has yet been devised that adequately measures the wear resistance of concrete under all conditions. Since concrete is subjected to different kinds of wear, it seems likely that a number of tests, each suited to a particular mode of abrasion, will be required. Further experimental evidence on the correlation of test data with practical performance is required before firm recommendations can be made.
