- When describing the behavior of concrete under load, the popular belief is that concrete will crush when the unit strain reaches 0.003. if a 12-in tall concrete test cylinder is tested to the failure point in a testing machine what will be its height when it fails?arrow_forwardA concrete cylinder sample has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 12 inches. The maximum load carried by the sample after its failure is 500 KN. Determine the compressive strength of the sample in psi.

- Anyone help with this question?thanksarrow_forwardYou are assigned to monitor the concrete strength gain at a construction site. The ultimate compressive strength of the concrete at its full maturity is 450 kg/m. The average concrete temperature at the construction site is 25 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night (assuming 12-hour day/night cycles). If you assume that the datum temperature (To) is - 10 °C, estimate the strength of concrete after 14 days.
