Guideline for fresh concrete cube - Storing, Transport and Testing

Abstract

Concrete is one of the most durable building materials. It provides superior fire resistance compared with wooden construction and gains strength over time. Structures made of concrete can have a long service life. A major component of concrete is cement, a fine, and soft, powdery-type substance, used mainly to bind fine sand and coarse aggregates together in concrete. Concrete create in line with the design mix, which is design by an Engineer according to the specific nature of structures and grade. As concrete uses in all type of construction industries, testing and confirming the adequate strength requirement is mandatory. Hence, in this article it is elaborate briefly, pertaining the concrete cube storing, curing, transport and laboratory testing.  Further, little bit research conducted about two different scope of works normally perform in construction site and laboratory.
