Compressive strength is measured by breaking cylindrical concrete specimens in a compression-testing machine. Compressive strength is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting the load and reported in units of pound-force per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa).
The compressive strength of concrete ranges from 15 MPa (2200 psi) to 30 MPa (4400 psi) for residential concrete and is high in commercial structures. Some applications use forces greater than 10,000 psi (70 MPa). The process must be done on the G.I Sheet (For Making Concrete) until a homogenous mix is obtained.
Procedure of Test
1.Clean the mounds properly and apply oil inside the cube frame.
2.Fill the concrete in the molds in layers approximately 50mm thick.
3.Compact each layer with not less than 35 strokes per layer using a tamping rod (steel bar 16mm diameter and 600 mm long, )
4.Level the top surface and smoothen it with a trowel.
