• Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    The compressive strength of concrete is given in terms of the characteristic compressive strength of 150 mm size cubes tested at 28 days (fck). The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of the concrete below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fall.

  • Strength of Cement - Building Research Institute (P) Ltd.

    Strength of cement is defined in three ways: Compressive, Tensile & flexural. Usually compressive test is carried out. Strength of cement-sand paste can be affected by number of items including: water-cement ratio, cement-sand ratio, type and grading of sand, manner of mixing, size and shape of specimen, curing conditions, rate of …
