Concrete is one of the widely used building materials on planet earth. Concrete has a reliable reputation, durable and useful material. Surprisingly, people always find it challenging to take samples correctly and manage the concrete cube testing as well as the certification process. A comprehensive strength of concrete cube test provides an idea about all the characteristics of concrete. By

This test was done by using a Cube crushed machine named ELE Compact 1500 machine designed for measure compressive strength of materials. Maximum applied load was 2000kN. Samples were taken from the concrete mixture which was used for the construction by making cubes (150mm×150mm×150mm), normally six cubes were made from one sample and it was compacted by using a hammer having 1.8Kg weight

The compressive strength of the concrete cube test provides an idea about all the characteristics of concrete. By this single test one judge that whether Concreting has been done properly or not. Concrete compressive strength for general construction varies from 15 MPa (2200 psi) to 30 MPa (4400 psi) and higher in commercial and industrial structures.

Figure 3: Crush Test diagram. The test involves placing a steadily increasing load down the length of the core sample (1.) until the sample fractures and breaks (2.). The load at which the concrete collapses indicates its compressive strength, and from this can be calculated an array of useful information.

Concrete elements are designed on the basis of a 28-day cube’s crushing strength. A 28-day cube’s strength actually represents the characteristic strength of the concrete. It is mandatory to test the concrete cubes or cylinders at the age of 28 days as per almost all building code requirements.

So,100mmx100mmx100mm concrete cubes can be utilized in place of 150mmx150mmx150mm cubes to raise the applied stress to crush the concrete cubes. For normal concrete strength, the cube size of 150mmx150mmx150mm is already adequate for the crushing strength of the machine. Cube Test: Tools and Materials: Concrete cube mould with size 150mm or

Concrete gains its total of 99% of the C ompressive Strength after 28 Days. However, except for the percentage of Compressive Strength of various grades of concrete, the values will differ from grade to grade. For example, Cube of grade M25 of size 15cm X 15cm X 15cm. will have a compressive strength of around 25N/mm2.

So rate of loading which I need to set in cube testing machine and maintain without jerks, fluctuation is Equals. Rate of Loading for 15 Cm cube = 308.925 Kn / 60 Sec = 5.148 Kn/Sec. Another Example. Cube size is 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm. So total load on this surface area will be. 1.373 x 10 x 10 = 137.3 Kn.

Test Procedure of Compressive Strength of Concrete Cubes: There are two types of specimens either cubes of 10 cm*10 cm*10 cm or 15 cm*15 cm*15 cm both depend on the sizes of aggregates used. Commonly size of 15 cm*15cm*15 cm cubical molds are used for most of the works. Concrete is poured and suitably forced so that there will be no voids.

Cube Testing. The cubes are generally tested at 7 & 28 days unless specific early tests are required, for example to remove a concrete shutter safely prior to 7 days. Usually 1 cube will be tested at 7 days and 2 cubes at 28 days, however this may vary depending of the requirements, check the design first.

Compressive strength of concrete cube test is the most important strength test for concrete. This single test gives an idea about all the characteristics of concrete. Concrete are very strong in compression. It is assumed that whole of the compression will be taken up by the concrete at the time designing any RCC structure.
