Concrete Properties
Typical properties of normal strength Portland cement concrete: Density
Various improper testing practices can cause strength reductions in test cylinders as demonstrated in this National Ready Mix Concrete Association table. Assuming a 10,000-psi mix strength, the reduction in compressive strength is shown for numerous situations where cylinders where not properly cast, stored, or prepared for testing.

Top 6 Important Quality Tests Of Concrete
The plus or minus sign is the symbol of tolerance of slump. Let say for example the slump of approved concrete design mix for your suspended slab is 150 mm +/- 25. It means that the drop of concrete after the slump cone is removed should not be more than 175 mm nor less than 125 mm. 2. Compressive strength test (this a common quality tests of

Efficiency of Rice Husk Ash as Cementitious
The potential and efficiency of using rice husk ash (RHA) to add up or partially replace Portland cement in deep cement mixing technique are examined. A series of unconfined compression tests on cement-RHA-stabilized clay are conducted to investigate the influence of RHA on the mixture properties. Special attention is paid to its efficiency for increasing the strength by partial cement

Aggregates
For a good concrete mix, aggregates need to be clean, hard, strong particles free of absorbed chemicals or coatings of clay and other fine materials that could cause the deterioration of concrete. Aggregates, which account for 60 to 75 percent of the total volume of concrete, are divided into two distinct categories--fine and coarse.

compressive strength is then defined as the maximum load applied to crush the specimen divided by the cross-sectional area. Rock strength has been found to be size dependent because of the cracks and fissures that are often present in the material. This is illustrated from the results of tests on three rock types in Fig. 8.2.
