ASTM C39/C39M – Compressive Strength Test of Cylindrical Specimens – A Quick Guide
The compressive strength test is one of the most important quality-control tests for concrete. ASTM C39/C39M covers the determination of compressive strength of molded concrete cylinders and drilled cores having a density greater than 800 kg/m³. The test involves applying a continuously increasing axial compressive load until failure and calculating the strength from the maximum … Read more
