Objective
1. The main objective of the this study is to present laboratory
investigations relating to concrete produced from two different types of
cement materials namely PFA and OPC
2. To Find that which has the greater compressive strength among OPC
concrete and PFA concrete.
Methodology
Steps involved in testing of compressive strength
of both type of concrete :
1. Preparation: Check all the things you need are ready.
2. Taking measurement: Take the measurement of concrete specimens.
3. Start machine: Turn on the machine. Place one concrete specimen in
the centre of loading area.
4. Applying load: Now the piston is on top of specimen. It is the time to
apply load. Pull the lever into holding position.
5. Increasing pressure: By turning pressure increasing valve counterclockwise, adjust the pressure on piston so that it matches concrete
compression strength value. Apply the load gradually without shock.
6. Test is complete: Observe the concrete specimen. When it begins to
break stop applying load. Record the ultimate load on paper displaying
on machine's display screen.
Tools to be used
We need following things for testing concrete compressive strength * Ruler
* Paper
* Pen/Pencil
* Calculator
* Measuring tape
* Safety goggles
* Gloves
* Testing machine, and of course,
* Concrete specimens (Cylinder/Cube)
