Three mortar mixes were prepared with water to cement ratios of 0.50, 0.55, and 0.60. Three 2-in. mortar cubes were prepared for each mix. The cubes were cured for 7 days and then tested for compressive strength. The testresults were as shown in Table. Determine the following: a. The compressive strength of each cube. b. The average compressive strength for each mix. Mix No. w/c Ratio Cube No. Maximum Compressive Strength (psi) Average Compressive Strength (psi) Load (Ib) 17640 0.50 2 18270 3 17890 16350 2 0.55 16740 15990 14870 2 15260 0.60 15790 2. 3. 1.
