Depending on the applied code, the test sample may be cylinder [15 cm x 30 cm is common] or cube [15 cm x 15cm x 15 cm is the most common]. For example, as per ASTM C39, a standard test method is given to get the compressive strength of concrete cylinders.

Answer (1 of 2): Usually, the weight of cement concrete cube of 150mm X 150mm X 150mm size is around 8.1 kg. There is no specific mention of tolerance of weight in Indian codes. The weight depends on many factors such as relative proportions of the constituent materials, types of materials, meth...

In concrete compression test, normally 150mm x150mm x150mm concrete cube samples is used for testing. Why isn't 100mm x100mm x100mm concrete cube samples used in the test instead of 150mmx150mmx150mm concrete cube samples? Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value.

According to Wikipedia, Compressive Strength of concrete is defined as the Characteristic strength of 150mm size concrete cubes tested at 28 days. Why do we test at 7, 14 & 28 days? Concrete is a macro content with Sand, Cement, & Coarse aggregate as its micro-ingredient (Mix Ratio) and gains its strength over time at the hardened state.

As per IS Code, the sample selection for the concrete cube test has listed below. The minimum value of Compressive Strength for a cube. As per IS 456, the individual compressive value of a concrete cube should not be less than 75% of its grade. Example – If the concrete grade is M20, then the individual crushing value should not be less than ...

Cube specimens of size 150mmX150mm X150mm were cast for compressive strength as per Indian standard specifications BIS: 516-1959. Compressive strength test results are shown in table 7 and fig no 1 and 2. The compressive strength result shows that there is an increase in compressive strength at 28 days by replacing silica

Procedure of Test. For this test mainly 150mm * 150 mm * 150 mm cubes are used. Clean the mounds properly and apply oil inside the cube frame. Fill the concrete in the molds in layers approximately 50mm thick. Compact each layer with not less than 35 strokes per layer using a tamping rod (steel bar 16mm diameter and 600 mm long, )

Answer (1 of 8): 150mm cube is appropriate size for most types of concretes mix designs due to homogeneity of mix, which will give repeatable and reliable concrete strength results. You don't want a cube dimension such that it may give misleading or non reproducible results. For example if your ...

A. According to section 19.2.1.3 of ACI 318-19 the specified compressive strength shall be based on the 28-day test results unless otherwise specified in the construction documents. 3- or 7-day test results are used to monitor early strength gain, especially when high early-strength concrete is used. However, 3- and 7-day test results are not ...

Why we use 150mm size cube for compressive strength testing. Hi all civil engineer, when i was in collage i wonder that all constructions site have the cube size of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm. IS 516 do mention that we should use 150mm size cube or 100mm size cube as alternative when maximum size of aggregates do not exceed 20mm.

In India, cube mould is most commonly used for the compression test and cylindrical mould is widely used in countries like America and England. Selection of concrete cube mould size for the test depend on the size of aggregate to be used in the concrete mix. Mostly 150 mm * 150 mm * 150 mm size of concrete cube mould is used for the cube test.
