Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee, CED 2
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2/Section 1) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after
the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
Testing plays an important role in controlling the quality of cement concrete work. Systematic testing of raw
materials, fresh concrete and hardened concrete, is an inseparable part of any quality control programme for
concrete. This helps to achieve a higher efficiency of the materials used and greater assurance of the
performance of the concrete, in regard to workability, strength and durability. The test methods used should be
simple, direct and convenient to apply. This standard was formulated with this objective in view.
This standard was first published in 1959. In this revision, it was decided to review and update the various
existing test methods of concrete taking into consideration the latest international practices and developments in
this field in the country, and also to introduce certain new test methods, wherever required. In the process, the
various existing test methods covered in IS 516:1959 ‘Methods of tests for strength of concrete’ have been
revised. The revision of the standard is being brought out taking into consideration primarily the corresponding
ISO standards while also examining the other best practices world over and in the country. In addition, test
methods for determination of additional properties have been included in areas such as permeability, initial
surface absorption, corrosion of reinforcement, carbonation of concrete (field test) and, creep of concrete. Also,
for better understanding and implementation, some of the other test methods which were spread over in number
of other Indian Standards have been brought together under the fold of IS 516 as its various parts, such as the
splitting tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity test, rebound hammer test, bond in reinforced concrete, and
determination of water soluble and acid soluble chlorides. This is with a view to making the standard complete
in all respects, and rendering it a comprehensive source of provisions for testing of concrete and reference in
other Indian Standards.
In this revision, IS 516 has been split into 12 parts. The other parts in the series are:
Part 1 Determination of strength of hardened concrete
Part 3 Making, curing and determining compressive strength of accelerated cured concrete test
specimens Part 4 Sampling, preparing and testing of concrete cores
Part 5 Non-destructive testing of hardened concrete
Part 6 Determination of drying shrinkage and moisture movement of concrete samples
Part 7 Determination of creep of concrete cylinders in compression
Part 8 Determination of modulus of elasticity in compression
Part 9 Determination of wear resistance
Part 10 Determination of bond in reinforced concrete
Part 11 Determination of Portland cement content of hardened hydraulic cement concrete
Part 12 Determination of water soluble and acid soluble chlorides in hardened mortar and concrete
This standard (Part 2/Section 1) covers the procedures for testing certain properties of hardened concrete other
than strength, namely density of hardened concrete and depth of water penetration under pressure.
IS 516:1959 shall be superseded after the publication of all the parts of the standard.
This revision has been taken up to incorporate the modifications found necessary in the light of experience
gained in its use and also to bring it in line with the latest development on the subject nationally as well as
internationally.

Significant provisions in this part include,
a) these are newly introduced test methods for hardened concrete.
b) for determination of the density, the hardened concrete has been differentiated into three states,
namely, as received, saturated and oven dried.
c) the methods for determination of volume has been specified for both regular shapes (on measurement
basis) and for irregular shapes (water displacement basis).
d) elaborate provisions for the application of water pressure and for examination of the specimen after
application of the water pressure, as well as the details of acceptable and unacceptable water
penetration front have been specified.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from ISO 1920-5 : 2004 ‘Testing of concrete —
Part 5: Properties of hardened concrete other than strength’.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value observed or
calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off
numerical- values (revised)’.
