Experimental data on the development of “Post-installed Screw Pullout test” for in-situ investigation of concrete strength

Abstract

This data article describes the datasets obtained during the development phase of “Post-installed Screw Pullout (PSP) test”, a new in-situ test for concrete strength assessment. The datasets presented focus on the results obtained in mortar samples. The presented PSP test method is based on a post-installed screw being pulled from the parent material. To implement this, the screws installed in mortar sample were loaded to failure and the responses were recorded in the form of load-displacement curves. The samples were tested for two types of screw under different test conditions, with variables that included hole depth, hole diameter and mortar strength. These datasets are associated with the article “The Post-installed Screw Pullout Test: Development of a Method for Assessing In-situ Concrete Compressive Strength” (Al-Sabah et al., 2020).
