Answer (1 of 5): Concrete can be specified by its constituents, or by the properties of the hardened concrete. The C30/37 refers to the crushing strength of a sample of the concrete at 28 days after it was mixed.
Aggregate Crushing Value Test is important to test to be performed on aggregate. The strength of aggregate parent rock is determined by preparing cylindrical shape specimens of size 25 mm diameter and 25 mm height.
The crushing of concrete cubes or cylinder samples is required in a construction especially concrete structures. The reason why this is to verify the strength given in the design mix. Let say for example for a concrete column commonly it has 60 megapascals of specified strength. When you crush it, the result should be equal or more than 60 Mpa. The specified strength should be achieved at 28

The characteristic compressive strength f ck is the first value in the concrete class designation, e.g. 30 MPa for C30/37 concrete. The value corresponds to the characteristic (5% fractile) cylinder strength according to EN 206-1. The strength classes of EN1992-1-1 are based on the characteristic strength classes determined at 28 days.
crushing load is noted to calculate crushing strength of concrete according to IS: 516-1959. The measuring strength of specimen is calculated by dividing the maximum load applied to the specimen during the test by the cross section area.

For normal concrete and HSC, the concrete compressive strength test results from cube specimens are generally higher than cylinders specimens [6]. As states in BS 1881, the compressive strength of concrete gained by cylinder specimens is equal to 0.8 times of the compressive strength gained by cube specimens.
The value of stress at 0.002 strain is called compressive strength of concrete. Lower strength concrete has greater deformability i.e lower the strength of concrete more is the ductility. The point where the curve ends is called crushing strain. It can be seen from the above curve that the strain at the crushing point is more in a lower grade
• This value is approximately 15% lesser than the ultimate strength. • The strain at which crushing of concrete takes place is 0.0025 for high-strength concretes to more than 0.0045 for low-strength concretes. • For design, a conservative value of 0.003 is considered as the ultimate strain, for all concretes except very high strength ones.
Sections 26.5.3.2 and 26.12.1.1 of ACI 318-19, ACI 301-20 “Specifications for Concrete Construction”, and ACI 311.6-18 “Specification for Testing Ready Mixed Concrete” require concrete strength tests for acceptance to be the average of at least two 6 x 12 in. (150 x 300 mm) cylinders or at least three 4 x 8 in. (100 x 200 mm) cylinders.
in Lincoln. The concrete that was used in this research was Class 47B with a design strength of 3500 psi at 28 days. All cylinders were tested at 28 days. Materials Used in Preparation of Concrete Cylinders Sulphur capping compounds were prepared on a strength grade meeting the requirements for cylinder strength of 500 to 7000 psi.

Each concrete grade e.g. C30/37 is characterized by two equivalent strengths, which in this specific example are 30 MPa and 37 MPa. The first is the characteristic strength f ck of a standard concrete cylinder and the latter is the characteristic strength of a standard concrete cube.
engineering properties. Designing a concrete structure requires the concrete compressive strength to be used. Characteristic strength of the concrete is designated as the compressive strength of a concrete sample that has been cured for 28 days and is determined by the standard cylinder crushing test.

Region Affected by Lateral Stresses in Cylinder. Hence, it is clear that the total stress that will be created in the cube will be higher compared with the cylinder specimen. This will result in a higher value of the compressive strength in cubes than the cylinder even by employing the same concrete mix. Hence their relation can be given as:

Concrete structures are designed on the basis of 28 days cylinder crushing strength. 28 days cylinder strength actually represents the characteristic strength of the concrete.
The value of fck in EC2 is "Cylinder Crushing Strength" of the the concrete at an age of 28 days and it is on average , about 0.8 x the cube strength. The cube strength of concrete is given as fck, cube in EC2. For example C45 / 55. It is strange that STAAD uses cube strength rather than cylinder strength. I think this is quite confusing.

Compressive strength of concrete depends on many factors such as water-cement ratio, cement strength, quality of concrete material, quality control during the production of concrete, etc. Test for compressive strength is carried out either on a cube or cylinder.
Thus, for higher concrete compressive strengths, the strength of the coarse RCA particles (measured via the ACV) influenced the splitting tensile strength of the concrete. Download : Download full-size image; Fig. 6. Relationship between splitting tensile strength and aggregate crushing value.
The following are some of the important tests conducted on concrete: 1. Slump test. 2. Compaction factor test. 3. Crushing strength test. Slump Test This test is conducted to determine the workability of concrete. It needs a slump cone for test (Fig. 3.3). Slump cone is a vessel in the shape…
