However, 3- and 7-day test results are not ...

 — The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is one of the key parameters determining the mechanical behavior and failure characteristics of rocks under loading/unloading conditions (Hajiabdolmajid and Kaiser, 2003; Yagiz, 2008; Yarali and Kahraman, 2011; Tan et al., 2016; Xia et al., 2019; Meng et al., 2020; Zhang et al., …

 — Concrete is a building material that is most widely used because of its excellent mechanical performance and durability. Compressive strength is an essential property of concrete, which changes with time under various factors. In this paper, the time variation law of the compressive strength of concrete was reviewed from three aspects: …

As per studies and researches, the compressive strength of the concrete will increase with age. Most researches were conducted to study the 28th-day strength of concrete. But in reality, the strength at 28th day is less compared to the long-term strength that it can gain with age. The concrete strength variation with age can be studied by ...

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational programs, certification programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a …

 — The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is classified as one of the basic mechanical properties of rocks, which is widely used in mining and construction practice.

 — Estimating compressive strength. General rock failure criterion can be reduced to a few parameters dependent on lithology (m) and the uniaxial compressive strength (C 0).Lithology is commonly derived during log analysis, so m may be estimated (Table 1).What is needed still is an initial measure of rock strength provided by C 0. C 0 …

7.6 Concrete compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete core influences the strength enhancement ratio of the hybrid column. Almost all the studies on the hybrid column were carried out on concrete strength ranging from 20 to 50 MPa [23,24,88–97,99–101]. In this range of strength, PFT displays good potential to prevent …

 — The Schmidt hammer was originally developed for measuring the strength of hardened concrete (Schmidt, 1951), but it can also be correlated with rock compressive strength according to Miller (1965) (Barton and Choubey, 1977). The device consists of a spring-loaded steel mass that is automatically released against a plunger when the …

Subramaniam et al. [48,49] indicated that the transverse reflection coefficient and the compressive strength of concrete have the same relative rate of change over the investigated time range.

Whereas, Characteristic compressive strength would be that compressive strength below which not more than 5% of the samples are expected to fail. Thus atlas 95% of the samples have higher compressive strength than the characteristic strength.
