    Compressive Strength
    Laboratory Exercise Number 03

    I. INTRODUCTION

    II. MATERIALS

    III. PROCEDURE

    IV. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

    The evaluation of compressive strength in concrete samples adhered


    to the guidelines set forth in ASTM C39-19. These specimens were subjected
    to assessments at different curing intervals (7 days, 14 days, and 28 days) to
    track the progression of strength over time. However, due to time constraints,
    only one sample was tested, and this occurred on the 14th day. The average
    compressive strength achieved after 14 days of curing for a sample to meet
    the pass criteria is 152.5 kN or 1250 psi. Our sample reached a maximum
    compressive strength of 257.6 kN, surpassing the average compressive
    strength threshold. Despite having only one sample tested, the result clearly
    indicates a consistent increase in compressive strengthen with prolonged
    curing periods. This aligns with the typical behavior of concrete, which gains
    strength progressively as the hydration process advances.

    V. CONCLUSION

    In conclusion, the assessment of the compressive strength of concrete


    is a fundamental and critical aspect of evaluating the structural integrity and
    quality of concrete in construction projects. Compressive strength tests
    provide essential information about the concrete's ability to withstand axial
    loads, making it a crucial parameter for determining its suitability for various
    applications.
    The results of compressive strength tests offer valuable insights into
    the concrete's load-bearing capacity, durability, and overall performance.
    These results are typically reported in terms of pounds per square inch (psi)

    or mega-pascals (MPa) and serve as a key determinant in the design,
    construction, and quality control of concrete structures.
    Understanding the compressive strength of concrete ensures that it
    meets the required standards and specifications for a given project,
    guaranteeing the safety and longevity of structures. Engineers, architects, and
    construction professionals rely on these tests to make informed decisions
    regarding concrete mix design, curing methods, and construction techniques.
    In essence, the compressive strength of concrete is a cornerstone of
    construction quality and safety, enabling the successful execution of a wide
    range of infrastructure and building projects while ensuring that they meet the
    necessary structural requirements and performance standards.
