Compressive strength refers to the ability of a certain material or structural element to withstand loads that reduce the size of that material, or structural element when applied. A force is applied to the top and bottom of a test sample, until the sample fractures or is deformed. Materials such as concrete and rock are often evaluated using a ...

Addition of supplementary cementitious materials into the concrete mix like silica fume, fly ash and GGBFS helps in reducing the permeability of the concrete. The high strength concrete has a lower value of permeability compared to normal strength concrete. This is because the high – strength concrete is designed with lower water cement ratio.

Abstract: Testing high-strength concrete (HSC) for compressive strength puts into doubt a certain number of concrete testing practices. First, most testing laboratories are equipped with loading capacity machines inadequate for testing 150 x 300-mm (6 x 12-in.) specimens, thus limiting HSC specimens to 100 x 200 mm (4 x 8 in.) in …
