Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee, CED 02
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2/Section 4) (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 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 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), accelerated carbonation 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 is 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
Part 9 Determination of wear resistance
Part 10 Determination of bond in reinforced concrete
Part 11 Determination of Portland cement 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 4) covers the procedure for measurement of carbonation depth by accelerated
carbonation test. This is a new test method included in the IS 516 series.
After a period of preconditioning, this test is carried out under controlled exposure conditions using an increased
level of carbon dioxide to which the vertical sides of the specimen are exposed. The test results are designed
to compare the carbonation resistance of similar concretes, which may be used in the same environmental
conditions.

The test under reference conditions takes therefore a minimum of 112 days period that comprises a minimum age
of the specimen of 28 days prior to conditioning, a minimum conditioning period of 14 days, and a minimum
exposure to increased carbon dioxide levels of 70 days. In case of concretes made with blended cements or
having mineral admixtures, extended curing and drying times are allowed. Details on suitable storage chamber for
carrying out this test have also been mentioned.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance was derived from ISO 1920-12 : 2015 Testing of concrete —
Part 12 : Determination of the carbonation resistance of concrete — Accelerated carbonation method.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, is to be rounded off, it shall
be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )’. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that specified value in this standard.
