Strength Variation of Concrete Between Cylindrical and Cubical Specimen Due to Various Proportion of Ingredients
Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between compressive strength of cubes and cylinders that were produced and cured in Laboratory of Sonargaon University. The study is based on the comparison of experimental results between M-10, M-15 and M-20 grade concrete made with stone chips. Theoretical study was done on factors that affect the workability and gaining of strength of concrete. General slump test was done for each of these three grades of concrete mix to determine workability of concrete. Cylinder and cube specimens were moulded in laboratory and cured at preferred temperature and condition, and then cubes and cylinders were tested at different ages to determine their compressive strength. The cylinder-to-cube strength ratio was found to be a value of 0.80 and is slightly lower than the average ratio of 0.87 obtained by researchers in other countries (Rong, W.H., 2012). It is also found that, in average, the strength of Cube specimen is 1.25 times stronger than Cylinder specimen. According to determined results further recommendations and limitations are also assorted.
