The formula for calculating compressive strength is as follows: Compressive Strength = Applied Maximum Load / Surface Area of the Specimen. For …
In case of lean mix of 1:6.5:6.5 a slight decrease in strength from normal concrete was observed at 10% replacement and it was due to the high water/cement ratio due to the …
The solid concrete blocks shall have a block density of not less than 1800 kg/m 3. These shall be manufactured for minimum compressive strengths of 4.0 and 5.0 N/mm 2, …
The 28-day compressive strengths of T-DHSBs and R-DHSBs were found to be 3.58 Mpa and 4.04 Mpa respectively and the water absorption values for T-DHSBs and R-DHSBs …
Overall, hollow blocks cast with Mixtures HB2 ͑ 29% FBC, 0% WA ͒ and HB3 ͑ 39% FBC, 0% WA ͒ exhibited about 4 and 6% lower average compressive strength compared with …
