9) Two cylindrical specimens, made up of the same concrete, with the following
dimensions:
Diameter (em)
15
Height (em)
Specimen A
30
Specimen B
15
15
They are tested under compression (both with the identical capping).
Which specimens yiekds a higher compressive strength? Explain the reason.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

The dimensions of the two cylinders are shown in the below table:

	Diameter (cm)	Height (cm)
Specimen A	15	30
Specimen B	15	15

Step 2

The strength of the concrete specimen depends upon the aggregate size, cement, bond, curing of specimen, water-cement ratio, and size of the specimen.
The height of the specimen A is greater than the height of specimen B so, the specimen B yields a higher compressive strength than the specimen A.
