DOI: 10.14359/685. Date: 7/1/1999. Abstract: Two approaches to the tolerance limit for compressive strength of concrete in reinforced members are compared. One tolerance limit for strength, in use since 1971, is f c- 500 psi (3.4 MPa). Another tolerance, based on 0.90 f c, provides a more direct link between design and quality control criteria ...

The compressive strength of hardened concrete is determined by using a compression testing machine after either seven days or 28 days of curing. The load is applied gradually at a rate of 140 kg/cm2 per minute until the specimens fail. The compressive strength of the concrete is determined by dividing the load at failure by …

Concrete is known to be strong and long-lasting, but just how strong it needs to be to do its job varies, depending on the application. The compressive strength of concrete refers to how many pounds per square inch (psi) it can handle when force is applied. It is a reliable indicator of how it will perform under heavy loads or internal ...

The fineness of cement has an important bearing on the rate of hydration and hence on the rate of gain of strength and also on the rate of evolution of heat. Greater fineness increases the surface available for hydration, causing greater early strength and more rapid generation of heat. Cement fineness play a major role in controlling concrete ...

Grade of concrete is denoted by prefixing M to the desired strength in MPa. For example, for a grade of concrete with 20 MPa strength, it will be denoted by M20, where M stands for Mix. These grade of concrete is converted into various mix proportions. For example, for M20 concrete, mix proportion will be 1:1.5:3 for cement:sand:coarse aggregates.
