What happens if the concrete compressive strength is too low? If your concrete fails to achieve the designated compressive strength, as determined by 28-day concrete cylinder tests, it can be due to several factors: Improper cylinder handling, curing, and testing (the most common reason for low strength results).
اقرأ المزيدThis specification covers the production, properties, packaging, and testing of packaged, dry, combined materials for concrete and mortars. Concrete mixtures covered by this specification includes high-early strength concrete, normal strength concrete, normal weight concrete, high-strength mortar, and mortars for unit masonry.
اقرأ المزيدThe testing was carried out in accordance with ASTM standards for concrete compressive strength (ASTM 39) and modulus of elasticity (ASTM C 469). The test results were presented in terms of the concrete modulus of elasticity-to-compressive strength ratio (E/f′ c) versus cylinder diameter, maximum aggregate size, age at testing, …

اقرأ المزيدIf the goal is to estimate in-place concrete strength, the testing laboratory must establish the relationship between R-values produced by a particular instrument and compressive strength. ASTM C805 and American Concrete Institute (ACI) 228.1R provide detailed guidance for this procedure using drilled cores or concrete cylinder samples.
