method of testing using concrete cubes, the tested compressive strength should be compared to the second number. Once the cubes have reached failure, the shape of the cube has been altered due to the compression. The failure shape can indicate whether it''s a satisfactory / unsatisfactory failure. The image left shows the various failures of a cube as show in S EN 123903:2009. Share this

WhatsAppعرض المزيدCube Test Procedure. In this Concrete specimens are a casted in cubes generally, we used molds of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm and tested under the action of compressive loads to determine the strength of concrete .. compressive strength is calculated by dividing the failure load with the area of application of load, usually after 28 days of curing.

Carefully align the specimen with the spherically seated plate. The load will be applied to the specimen axially. Now slowly apply the load at the rate of 140kg/cm 2 per minute till the cube collapse. The maximum load at
WhatsAppعرض المزيدThe cubes are generally tested at 7 28 days unless specific early tests are required, for example to remove a concrete shutter safely prior to 7 days. Usually 1 cube will be tested at 7 days and 2 cubes at 28 days, however this may vary depending of the requirements, check the design first. The cubes are removed from the curing tank, dried and grit removed. The cubes are tested using a

WhatsAppعرض المزيدConcrete cube testing is the main compliance test for concrete and is also a requirement of BSI kite marking. Cubes come in mainly two sizes: 100mm and 150mm. 100mm are more common for continuous testing and are more easily storable. Cube testing is now a common operation for all concrete suppliers; not only does it tell you if your concrete is fit for purpose but with enough
WhatsAppعرض المزيدCubes for compression test are casted in a steel or castiron moulds of prescribed dimensions. BS 1881: Part 108: 1983 prequires filling the mould in layers of approximately 50 mm. Compaction of each layer is achieved by not less than 35 strokes for 150mm cubes or 25 strokes for 100 mm cubes. A standard tamping bar of a 25mm square of steel section is used for this purpose. Compaction by

WhatsAppعرض المزيدOnsite Evaluation of Concrete Strength. Concrete strength (compressive strength) is by far the most important property of concrete. It represents the mechanical characteristics of concrete; The 28 days compressive strength of concrete cylinders or cube samples has widely been accepted as the minimum specified concrete strength in most design codes (ACI 31814, CSA ).
