7 Jun 2021. Published in: Concrete Magazine, June 2021 Strength gain in concrete is dependent on the type of cement. EN considers three different types of cement which it calls Class R, Class N, and Class S. Concrete with cement Class R gains strength the quickest, Class S the slowest.

340 Core-to-Cubic Strength Ratio for Historical-Like Concrete . compressive strength of a core and the corresponding compressive strength of standard-cured moulded cylinders. The relationship is affected by many factors such as the strength level of the concrete, the in-place temperature and moisture histories, the degree of
Fig: Instrument showing core cutting. Fig: Concrete Core. The strength of a concrete core test specimen depends on its shape, proportions and size. The influence of height/diameter (H/D) ratio on the recorded strength of cylinder is an established fact. Strength of core have to be related to the standard cylinder strengths, i.e. for H/D ratio of 2.
They can be divided onto two groups, for high-strength made at w/c of 0.33, and for normal-strength concrete made at w/c of 0.4 and 0.5. At the same time, for concretes with similar compositions, empirical relations between hardness and compressive strength are expected to follow a close path. This was not a case with Schmidt numbers.
The best-fit conversion factors of the results of Schmidt Hammer and core cutting to the standard cylinder and cube specimens were obtained via processing correlation …
1. Introduction. By far the most common test carried out on concrete is the compressive strength test. The main reason to understand this fact is that this kind of test is easy and relatively inexpensive to carry out [1].Testing standard requirements use different geometries of specimens to determine the compressive concrete strength, f c.The most used geometries …
Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) is an index of loss of coarse aggregate (CA) under sustained loading. However, ACV is not considered in concrete mix design according to ACI 211.1(ACI 211.1, 2009). In this paper effect of ACV of CA on compressive strength of concrete has been explored. Coarse Aggregate was collected from five different sources. Concrete mix design …

The rock uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the basic parameter for support designs in underground engineering. In particular, the rock UCS should be obtained rapidly for underground engineering with complex geological conditions, such as soft rock, fracture areas, and high stress, to adjust the excavation and support plan and ensure construction safety. To …
The authors observed dominant effect of size and shape on compressive strength of concrete. The above discussion shows that although good quantum of work has been done to check the size effect on compressive strength and relationship between compressive strength of cube and cylinder under different conditions.
The concrete structural code Eurocode 2 (BS EN 1992) is based on cylinder compressive strength. A relationship between the strength of 150mm diameter cylinders of 300mm length and 150mm cubes is given and is adopted by EN 206. In the UK, BS 8500 states that the compressive strength of 150mm cubes and 100mm cubes are considered equivalent. This ...

In practice, concrete is initially tested for compressive strength by casting a cube/cylinder, which is left to cure in favourable conditions until the date of testing. The results obtained from such tests can give a consultant guidance on the material's properties such as estimated porosity, density and compressive strength. These tests are known as control and conformity tests.
