16.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this practicum is to overcome the crush strength of the
concrete cylinder test specimen at the required age.
Where :
Fc = Maximum stress press the test object (MPa)
P = Maximum compressive load (N)
A = The cross-sectional area of the test object (mm2)
= 176.625 cm2;
Pmax conversion = Pmax before conversion × 7 day diving factor ...(16.3)
= 190 × 0.7
= 133 kN
= 13300 kg;
Pmax conversion
Compressive strength test = ............................... (16.4)
Cylinder area
13300 kg
= 176.625 cm2
= 75.301 kg/cm2;
= 107.573 kg/cm2
= 10.7573 Mpa.
16.4 CONCLUSION
The conclusion of the practicum is:
a. Compressive strength test on the 7th day is 75.301 kg/cm2;
b. Compressive strength test on the 14th day is 84.7 and 94.67 kg/cm2;
c. Compressive strength test on the 21th day is 107.57, 145.22 and 107.57 kg/cm2;
d. Compressive strength test on the 28th day is 84.7 and 94.67 kg/cm2;
e. The average of compressive strength at 28 days is 127.96 kg/cm2.
