introduction
The test method covers determination of compressive strength of cubic concrete specimens. It consists of
applying a compressive axial load to molded cubes at a rate which is within a prescribed range until failure
occurs. The compressive strength is calculated by dividing the maximum load attained during the test by the
cross- sectional area of the specimen

Materials and tools

*Measuring Tools *sand *Water *Aggregate *Cement
*Mixing tools *A hollow cube with dimensions of 10*10*10 *Compression machine

Steps :
2) We mix two blends ... the difference between them is the water cement ratio
and the super plasticizer that was added to the mix of %56 w/c) So that the
ratio between the components of the mixture is 2: 8:2 as shown in the table
below
Cement 8 kg 8kg
Fine 4kg 4kg
Corse 5kg 5kg
w/c .56 .06
Water 2.2 kg 2.6 kg

2) After After mixing well, fill one of the cubes with the mixture of 665(w/c)
and wipe the face . Then fill the second cube with 665 (w/c )mixing ... and
wait for seven days to do the first test of strength.
4) After 82 days, each of the cubes is subjected to a specific force, which is
calculated by dividing w\c of each cube by the volume

Data& calculation :
After 82 days ..We have 8 cubs
The 2st has dimensions of (82.82 , 8890 ,8890 )mm = ( .18282,
.1880 , .1880 ) m and mass of 8281.4 g = 8.2814 kg .
His density is 8826.2 kg/m2 =( mass / volume)
The 8ed has dimensions of (211 , 21194 ,8890 )mm and mass of
8828.0 g . His density = 8828.0 kg /m2
Data :
2) After subjected the first cube(566 w/c) to the force
(maximum load bear until it breaks)=551 KN(when the cube
was break ) , the strength was 81.0 Mega Paskal .
**The subjected force is calculated by dividing w\c of each
cube by the volume= .56/ 2.2 *01-4 = 551 KN

8) After subjected the second cube(066 w/c) to the force

(maximum load)=048 .86=( .06 \ 2.112*21-2 ) KN(when the
cube was break ) , the strength was 88.2 Mega Paskal.

*Result:
The second cube bear more force than the first one and that the
expected result because the w/c ratio in the second is more
than the first
and the conclusion that added super plasticizer to the mix
affect the initial strength of mix ( after 7)days more much than
affect in the finale strength(nearly doesn’t have any effect ) (
after 82 days )
