Image
Compressive strength is the capacity of material or structure to resist or withstand under compression. The Compressive strength of a material is determined by the ability of the material to resist failure in the form cracks and fissure. In this test, the push force applied on the both faces of concrete specimen and the maximum compression that concrete bears without failure is noted. Concrete testing helps us to majorly focus on the Compressive strength of concrete because it helps us to quantify the ability of concrete to resists Compressive stresses among structures where-as other stresses such as axial stresses and tensile stresses are catered by reinforcement and other means. In technical point of view, Compressive Strength of concrete is defined as the Characteristic strength of 150mm size concrete cubes @28 days. Factors affecting compressive strength of concrete:- Coarse aggregate:- Concrete is made homogenous by combining aggregates, cement, sand, wa...
