The specified concrete strength f. for a new building is 6000 psi. Calculate therequired average strength f. for the concrete (a) if there are no prior test resultsfor concrete with a compressive strength within 1000 psi of f' made with sim-ilar materials, (b) if 20 test results for concrete with f = 5000 psi made withsimilar materials produce a sample standard deviation s, of 580 psi, and (c) if30 tests with f = 5500 psi made with similar materials produce a sample stan-dard deviation s, of 590 psi.

A 150mm diameter cylindrical concrete specimen was tested for compressive strength. What would be the maximum applied force in kN when the stress at failure is 41.4 MPa?
1.40 In a ready-mix plant, cylindrical samples are prepared and tested periodically to detect any mix problem and to ensure that the compressive strength is higher than the lower specification limit. The minimum target value was set at 5,000 psi. The following compressive strength data were collected.

A materials engineer is working in a research project to evaluate the effect of one type of admixture on the compressive strength of concrete. He tested eight mortar cubes made with admixture and eight others without admixture after 28 days of curing. The compressive strengths of cubes in MPa with and without admixture are shown in Table P6.38. Using the statistical t-test, is there a significant difference between the means of the compressive strengths of the two cement mortars at a level of signifi- cance of 0.10?
When describing the behavior of concrete under load, the popular belief is that concrete will crush when the unit strain reaches 0.003. if a 12-in tall concrete test cylinder is tested to the failure point in a testing machine what will be its height when it fails?
Problem 1: Concrete is required for internal columns of a building. The specified strength is 25 MPa at 28 days and it is required that no more than 1 test result in 20 will fall below the specified strength. The concrete testing history of 50 tests, carried out by the construction company for the same concrete grade, indicated a standard deviation of 3 MPa. The size of the column sections and the spacing of steel require slump of 80 mm and Dmax of 20 mm. The fine aggregate have FM of 2.665, and absorption of 2%, BSG (SSD) of 2.6. The CA have bulk density of 1500kg/m³; absorption of 4% and BSG (SSD) of 2.50. The moisture content for both aggregate is 1%.

You are assigned to monitor the concrete strength gain at a construction site. The ultimate compressive strength of the concrete at its full maturity is 450 kg/m. The average concrete temperature at the construction site is 25 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night (assuming 12-hour day/night cycles). If you assume that the datum temperature (To) is - 10 °C, estimate the strength of concrete after 14 days. (4=35, B=51)Maturity Index, M = E(T - To).
