Ball Tes-Workability of concrete is a complex property of concrete.Finding the workability of concrete requires a huge amount of data and involves lengthy calculations. Many researchers have tried with different parameters to measure the workability of the concrete and later found some of the tests which are very close to check the
Kelly ball test is an alternative field test for the traditional slump cone test which is performed to determine the consistency of fresh concrete. The Kelly Ball test is performed by US Standard (ASTM C)and also called as the Kelly Ball Penetration
Kelly Ball test is a simple and inexpensive test that is performed on It provides an indication of yield stress, and the results of the test can then be correlated with concrete slump. The test can be successfully used for special concrete mixes, including light and heavy weight

The Kelly ball test is a test that measure workability of fresh concrete on the construction site. The Kelly ball test method has been developed as a fast alternative to the slump test which is effortless and reasonably priced. This type of test can be executed rapidly and the end result s can then be correlated to
ball test also called as a ball penetration test is performed on freshly mixed concrete to measure its workability. It is a quick simple field test and is considered as an alternative to the slump test. The test procedure of the kelly ball test, its advantages and drawbacks are explained in this article.
Standards. ASTM C360 The Kelly Ball test was developed in the in the United States as a fast alternative to the slump test. The simple and inexpensive test can be quickly performed on in-place concrete and the results can be correlated to
to test the consistency of concrete using the penetration of a half sphere into plastic concrete. A (2.5-centimeter) penetration by the kelly ball corresponds to about (5 cm) of slump. The apparatus consists of 30 lb. (14kg) cylinder with
Ball Penetration Apparatus (Kelly Ball) Ball Penetration Apparatus (Kelly Ball) determines depth of penetration of metal weight into plastic concrete. Apparatus consists of 30 lb. (14kg) cylinder with hemispherically shaped bottom and handle. Stirrup or frame guides handle and acts as reference for measuring depth of
ASTM Designation C 143, of Portland Cement Concrete. (2) TEST PROCEDURES AND METHODS 1.) The Kelly Ball Test was used as specified in ASTM C 360 with the exception that single readings were to be recorded. 2.) Modified Ball Test was performed as a.) Device to be held vertical to the surface of the concrete
A test for the consistency of concrete using the penetration of a half a 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) penetration by the Kelly ball corresponds to about 2 inches (5 centimeters) of

2 device is a portable metal ball, named the Kelly ball, that penetrates the surface of concrete. Tests made with the Kelly ball at the University of California and elsewhere show results that compare favorably with results obtained through the more commonly known and used slump
kelly ball test This is a simple field test consisting of the measurement of the indentation made by15 cm diameter metal hemisphere weighing 13.6 kg. when freely placed on fresh concrete.The test
PAVEMENT MIXTURE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF VIBRATING KELLY BALL TEST (VKELLY TEST) FOR THE WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE Technical Report March 2020 Principal Investigator Peter Taylor, Associate Director National Concrete Pavement Technology Center, Iowa State
Ball penetration test (Kelly ball) This is a simple field test to measure workability by determining the depth to which a 6 inch (150mm)diameter metal weight 30lb (13.6kg) will sink under its own weight in to fresh concrete. It is a popular test in America but not now used in UK.
Kelly ball apparatus is mounted. A tin can is added to hold rags for wip-ing the ball clean after each test. The wooden base serves a double duty. Besides carrying the appara t u s , it can be used as a footboard for the person testing the wet concre t e . How to Make the Kelly Ball Test The big advantage of the Kelly ball test is that it can
Summary Vibrating Kelly Ball Test (V-Kelly Test) Test AASHTO TP 129 Objective Examine workability and response to vibration of a concrete mixture Time to Complete Test 10 minutes Equipment A in. vibrator is attached to a 6 in.
ASTM standard slump test as set forth in ASTM C143-52, has been used for many years in concrete construction tor measuring the consistency of plastic concrete. Slump tests taken in the laboratory are considered reasonably however, there are numerous disadvantages in performing these tests in the the most serious being the time required to make a test
bee consistometer Vee bee consistometer test is named after the developer V Bahrmer of Sweden, and it is covered by .In this test, we measure the relative effort led by concrete to change from one definite shape to another definite shape by conducting vibration (Conical to
