Compressive strength is the most important property of concrete. The compressive strength of
concrete is determined in the laboratory in controlled conditions. On the basis of this test
result we judge the quality of concrete. But sometimes the strength test results vary so widely
that it becomes difficult to reach at any conclusion. This variation in test results can be avoided
by taking necessary steps.
There are 5 factors which influence strength of concrete when tested for compressive strength.
These factors are mentioned below.
1. Shape & Size of Test Specimens
2. Height to Diameter Ratio
3. Rate of Application of Load
4. Moisture Content in the Test Specimen
5. Material Used for Capping

the length of core specimen is short, it is necessary to apply a correction factor to the test
result.
A correction factor according to the height / diameter ratio of the specimen after capping is
obtained from the curve as shown below.

at the same age, then the dry cube will give higher strength than the wet cube. This may be
caused due to the reduction of cohesion of concrete ingredients due to presence of water.
To get reproducible results, it is advised that the concrete cubes or cylinders should be tested
