High-strength concrete (HSC) is gaining popularity over normal-strength concrete (NSC) in the design of various structural components because of many advantages of such concrete [ 1 ]. As per ACI 363R-10 [ 2 ], HSC is defined as concrete having compressive strength greater than 41.4 MPa (6000 psi).

Mar 06, 2017 Compressive strength as a concrete property depends on several factors related to quality of used materials, mix design and quality control during concrete production. Depending on the applied code, the test sample may be cylinder [15 cm x 30 cm is common] or cube [15 cm x 15cm x 15 cm is the most common].

Jun 02, 2021 For example, one technician in a testing laboratory was testing high-strength field-cured and standard-cured specimens for quality assurance found that the field-cured specimens of high-strength concrete were consistently breaking at 25-35% lower strengths than the standard-cured cylinders. While it is assumed that the technician had been using ...

May 12, 2021 The laboratory will test the concrete cylinders at 7, 14, 28, and occasionally 56 days after field installation to determine compressive strength at those curing intervals. This is accomplished using a device that applies force to the ends of the concrete cylinder until it breaks under the load.

May 24, 2020 The compressive strength of concrete is compressive strength of (150x150x150) mm size cubes tested at 28 days (fck)- as per Indian Standards.IS 516. The compressive strength of concrete is tested against a mix proportion designed for a grade of concrete. If the Mix proportion is designed for M30 grade concrete, then the Characteristic strength ...

Concrete compressive strength can vary from 2500 psi (17 MPa) for residential concrete to 4000 psi (28 MPa) and higher in commercial structures. Some applications use ... specimens tend to be easier to make and handle in the field and the laboratory. A strength test result is the average of at least two strength specimens made from the same ...

Test for Compressive Strength. The most common test preformed on concrete is for compressive strength. There several reasons for this: (1) it is assumed that the most important properties of concrete as directly related to compressive strength; (2) concrete has little tensile strength and is used primarily in compression; (3) structural design ...

May 22, 2012 Concrete mix design is a process of proportioning the ingredients in right proportions. The aim of this study is to design a fuzzy logic model for determination of the compressive strength of a concrete. The datasets which have been loaded into a fuzzy logic model contain 1,030 concrete mixtures. Input fields of the fuzzy expert system are weight percent of cement, water, blast furnace …
