Concrete is required for a column that will be Severe Exposure to freezing and thawing. The cross section of the column is 300 × 300 mm. The smallest spacing between reinforcing steel is 40 mm. The specified compressive strength of concrete at 28 days is 40 MPa with a slump of 25 to 50 mm. The properties of materials are as follows: (a) Cement used is type I Portland cement with a specific gravity of 3.10. (b) The available coarse aggregate has a maximum size of 23 mm, a dry-rodded unit weight of 1800 kg/m3, a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.68, absorption capacity of 0.65%, and moisture content (SSD) of 0.27%. (c) The fine aggregate has a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.75, absorption capacity of 1.5%, a moisture content (SSD) of 2.5%, and a fineness modulus of 2.7,The aggregates conform to the ASTM C33-84 requirements for grading.
A concrete test cylinder is 150mm in diameter and 300mm in length. During an axial compression test the diameter increased by 0.1399 mm and the length decreased by 0.397 mm. The concrete has an ultimate compressive strength of 21Mpa, Ec=20,000Mpa. Compute the compressive load that caused the above deformations
A concrete test cylinder with a cross-sectional area of 28.3 in squared is to be tested in axial compression. Before loading two marks are scribed on the cylinder precisely 8 in apart (as shown in the figure below) when the load is 40,000 lb the marks are measured and found to be 7.997 in apart determine the E value for this concrete. Assume an approximately linear relationship between stress and strain.
In compressive strength testing of concrete, which type of concrete will give a more accurate result. 100mm by 100mm cubed concrete or 100mm cylinder concrete. Why?
