Is the variation in the compressive strength of concrete across the thickness of horizontally cast elements negligibly small or rather needs to be taken into account at the design stage? There are conflicting answers to this question. In order to determine if the compressive strength of concrete varies across the thickness of horizontally cast elements, ultrasonic tests and destructive tests were carried out on core samples taken from a 350 mm thick slab made of class C25/30 concrete. Special point-contact probes were used to measure the time taken for the longitudinal ultrasonic wave to pass through the tested sample. The correlation between the velocity of the longitudinal ultrasonic wave and the compressive strength of the concrete in the slab was determined. The structure of the concrete across the thickness of the slab was evaluated using GIMP 2.10.4. It was found that the destructively determined compressive strength varied only slightly (by 3%) across the thickness of the placed layer of concrete. Whereas the averaged ultrasonically determined strength of the concrete in the same samples does not vary across the thickness of the analyzed slab. Therefore, it was concluded that the slight increase in concrete compressive strength with depth below the top surface is a natural thing and need not be taken into account in the assessment of the strength of concrete in the structure.

Perumpung (Eulalia japonica) is a wild plant that usually grows on the banks of river. The locals consider this plant as a waste/pest, but the authors are interested in researching perumpung because they are similar to bamboo, sugarcane and other fibrous plants. In this study, the authors aims to compare the compressive strength of normal concrete with the compressive strength of concrete added with Perumpung ash at 28-days-old K-300. The study used a cube-shaped test object (15 x 15 x 15 cm) with 6 samples for each condition. The total number of test objects is 48, which consists of 8 conditions, namely normal conditions and 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% and 20% addition of perumpung ash by cement weight. The results obtained that the compressive strength of 28-days-old concrete under normal conditions was 316,060 kg/cm2 and the addition of 5% ash was 331.583 kg/cm2, 7.5% was 337.181 kg/cm2, 10% was 341.813 kg/cm2, 12 ,5% is 347,045 kg/cm2, 15% is 353,889 kg/cm2, 17.5% is 311,160 kg/cm2 and 20% is 298.44 kg/cm2. From the results above it can be concluded that the addition of 15% Perumpung Ash to the concrete mixture increases the maximum characteristic concrete compressive strength by 353.889 kg/cm2.

Through compression tests on 30 plain concrete and polypropylene fiber concrete specimens with the dimensions of 100mm × 100mm × 100mm , studied the influence of the different scales of polypropylene fiber and hybrid fiber on concrete compressive strength and compressive deformation. The results showed that: the compressive strength of concrete for single-doped fiber has little effect to improve concrete compressive strength, some even get lower,but mixing-doped coarse-fine fiber had increased 6.2%~13.7%. Doped-fiber can improve the concrete compressive toughness, it's enhancement sort: mixing-doped coarse-fine fiber concrete > single-doped coarse fiber concrete > single-doped fine fiber concrete> plain concrete

At the design stage of a structure, the members of adequate dimension and strength is provided. But with passage of time, the strength of the members reduces gradually due to exposure to environmental conditions and unexpected loadings other than for which the structure is designed. Non Destructive Testing (NDT) method provides a convenient and rapid method of determination of existing strength of concrete without subjecting the member to any damage.  In the present study, Support Vector Regression (SVR) in Python has been used for the prediction of compressive strength of concrete. Three different NDT techniques have been used as input for the SVR model. A good co-relation between predicted strength and strength determined after crushing the concrete cubes has been achieved. It has also been observed that accuracy in the predicted strength is more in case of inputs from more than one NDT technique is used.

Abstract: Compressive strength of concrete is the capacity of concrete to bear loads of materials or structure sans breaking or being deformed. Specimen under compression shrinks in size whilst under tension the size elongates. Compressive strength essentially gives concept about the properties of concrete. Compressive strength relies on many aspects such as water-cement ratio, strength of cement, calidad of concrete material. Specimens are tested by compression testing machine after the span of 7 or 28 days of curing. Compressive strength of the concrete is designated by the load on the area of specimen. In this research various proportions of such aggregate mixed in preparing M 30 grade and M 40 grade of Concrete mix and the effect is studied on its compressive strength . Several research papers have been assessed to analyze the compressive strength of concrete and the effect of different zones of sand on compressive strength are discussed in this paper. Keywords: Sand, Gradation, Coarse aggregate, Compressive strength

Concrete strength is influenced by several variables, among others by its constituent material, mix design, workmanship, and curing. The objective of concrete curing is to maintain the concrete in certain conditions after the dismantling of the formwork hence the optimization of concrete strength can be achieved close to the designed strength. This study aims to determine the effect of concrete curing on its compressive strength. Designed concrete compressivestrength of 20 MPa with slump values of 60-100 mm to be used. The specimens are cube-shaped with 15 cm dimension. Concrete compressive strength tests were conducted at 28 days and 56 days of concrete age. The types of concrete curing consist of 9 variations, i.e., not treated, water immersed and water sprinkling. Optimum 28 days age of compressive strength of concrete obtained from specimens that immersed in fresh water, which was 31,3 MPa. The concretespecimens that were put outdoor without any curing and treatment generates second highest compressive strength value of 28.6 MPa. The 28 days age of concrete compressive strength values cured with water sprinkling with addition of burlap wrapping are still under the compressive strength of uncured concrete. Significant changes to the strength of cured concrete occurred at age of 56 days and uncured concrete strength decreased up to 19%. The optimum increase occurred in concrete cured with burlap sack wrapping and water sprinkling that was conducted routinely for 3 days by 27,84%. With increasing age (durability) the treated concrete has better strength.

An effort has been made to develop concrete compressive strength prediction models with the help of two emerging data mining techniques, namely, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Genetic Programming (GP). The data for analysis and model development was collected at 28-, 56-, and 91-day curing periods through experiments conducted in the laboratory under standard controlled conditions. The developed models have also been tested on in situ concrete data taken from literature. A comparison of the prediction results obtained using both the models is presented and it can be inferred that the ANN model with the training function Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) for the prediction of concrete compressive strength is the best prediction tool.
