MECHANICAL TESTING OF :

Mechanical testing of construction materials is crucial for assessing their quality and suitability. Tests include tension, compression, flexural, impact, hardness, fatigue, shear, and abrasion testing. These tests provide valuable information on strength, durability, and performance for design and construction purposes.
