Normal strength concrete, which is the most commonly used type, can handle a lot of weight and wear and tear. But, like any material, it has its limits. If you want to make sure your concrete is performing at its highest …
The test results showed that the RHA3 produced the concrete with good strength and low porosity. Additionally the strength of the concrete was improved due to the partial replacement of RHA3 material in comparison with normal coarse rice husk ash RHA0. On the other hand the influence of OPC and RHA materials on the concrete
A high strength concrete mix with a characteristic compressive strength of 40 MPa was selected for the present study, and cement was replaced with UFGGBFS in three different percentages; namely 3, 5 and 7%.

If this is not done properly, the strength value will not represent the strength in the structure. 5. Cylinder Preparation: After the concrete specimen has been cured, it is prepped in the lab for testing by grinding or capping the ends of the cylinder. If the cylinder is not prepared with care and attention, it will not break properly under ...
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 pressures caused by freeze-thaw cycles. Understanding what the different psi ratings mean is essential for specifying the right …
