The concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water which, when placed in the skeleton of forms followed by curing becomes hard like a stone. The standard method of evaluating the quality of concrete in buildings or structure is to test specimens for compressive, flexural and tensile strength.

Water-cement ratio = 84/200 = 0.42. There is no Indian standard guidelines that tells to take w/c ratio as 0.4 for compressive strength testing of cement. But from experience and results of rigours lab testing shows that w/c ratio comes around to 0.40 to 0.43, that's why for convenience it is taken as 0.4. To obtain actual w/c ratio, standard ...

Mar 01, 2021· The average values of compressive strength (3 days, 7 days and 28 days) of the three mortar cubes is reported to the nearest 0.5 N/mm2. Ø Specimens that are manifestly faulty, or that give strengths differing by more than 10% from the average value of all the test specimen should not be considered. Ø After discarding specimens or strength ...

ASTM C39 section 6 goes more into depth about the specifications of the machine's individual parts. Calipers or Ruler - Measuring the diameter of each cylinder is vital to the test results, as you will need to calculate the area of the cylinder to find the strength. Keeping a daily record of your cylinder diameters is recommended.

The crushing strength of concrete is the ability of concrete to carry a compressive load on its surface without any crack or deflection. Compressive strength depends on a number of factors, including wet concrete mix consistency (slump), air content, weight and temperature. Also, the way a technician casts and transports cylinders to bring to ...
