From my own experience and experimentation, I found the cube/cylinder strength ratio decreases by the increase in concrete strength. A ratio of 1.15 to 1.25 is expected for normal concrete (25 to ...
The compressive strength of these mixtures varies from 48 to 54 MPa, while the relative strength ranges from 1.12 to 1.26. When the compressive strength is not important, and the decisive factor is density (e.g., to produce a lighter structure), fine EGA is used as a lightweight aggregate in LWAC mixtures.
Natural river sand confirming to zone II and coarse aggregate of 20 mm nominal maximum size derived from stone crushing were used in this study . Physical properties of the ingredients were studied for mix design as per IS10262, and ... flexural strength and split tensile strength for the concrete mixes. Compressive strength and …
• The concrete minimum compressive strength will be specified by the client/designer in a specific format. An example of this is given below: C40/50 The 40 is the compressive requirement of 40 N/mm² of a crushed 100m concrete core and the 50 is a compressive requirement of 50 N/mm² for a crushed concrete cube. Therefore,

The design compressive strength fcd is determined according to EN §3.1.6(1)P: fcd = αcc ⋅ fck / γC where γC is the partial safety factor for concrete for the examined design state, as specified in EN §2.4.2.4and the National Annex. The coefficient αcc takes into account the … See more
This paper is focused on the influence of the geological nature and quality of the aggregates on the compressive strength of concrete and explains why it is important not to ignore the characteristics of aggregates in the estimation of the strength of concrete, even for aggregates. For this purpose, three original (Abrams, American Concrete Institute …
The Compressive Strength was determined in accordance to ASTM C39/C39M, Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens. According to ASTM C39, the rate of gain in concrete compressive strength is higher during the first 28 days of casting and then it slows down. In addition, in most …
