Why concrete cube has high strength than cylinder?
Reasons for concrete cube to have greater compressive strength as compared to cylinder iscontact area of a standard cube mould with the upper platen in the testing machine is more which results in more confinement .more confinement resist against specimen expansion resulting in more compressive strength

What is meant by 1 meter cube of concrete?
A metre cube of concrete is a volume of concrete which is equivalent to the volume of a cube each of whose sides are 1 metre long.
Why concrete cube of 15x15x15 is used?
concrete cube of 15x15x15 is used fortesting compressive strength.durability testeffloresence test.
What is the Equivalent cube strength of concrete over cylinder strength of concrete Any conversion between cube and cylinder strengths?
Cylindrical strength = 85% of Cube strength.
What is concrete testing equipment actually testing?
Concrete testing equipment is testing for consistency within a given batch of concrete. Concrete needs to be a certain consistency in order to flow out of the trucks and into the space correctly. It also needs to have a certain consistency in order to set properly.
What is the standard sand for concrete testing?
Concrete Standard Specifation is ASTM C33If we Check it so we can find the Stardard sand sieves for concrete.ASTM C778 is another Specification for Standrad Sand------------------------------------------------------------Ennore sand- K @ $ !civil engineering - GITAM UNIVERSITY
What is the standard size of concrete cube taken for compressive strength test?
It depends on the intended use, ranging from 25N/mm2 for concrete in a dry internal environment say an office floor slab. Up to 50N/mm2 for a large reinforced concrete arch dam.

What is the standard deviation of concrete?
Standard deviation is a statistical concept and not applicable to concrete.
What is C40 concrete?
The concrete that gives a compressive strength of 40 N/mm2 when its cube is tested.
Why the size of concrete cubes are 150mm?
Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value. For normal concrete strength application, say below 50MPa, the stress produced by a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is sufficient for the machine to crush the concrete sample. However, if the designed concrete strength is 100MPa, under the same force (about 2,000kN) supplied by the machine, the stress under a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is not sufficient to crush the concrete cube. Therefore, 100mmx100mmx100mm concrete cubes are used instead to increase the applied stress to crush the concrete cubes. For normal concrete strength, the cube size of 150mmx150mmx150mm is already sufficient for the crushing strength of the machine.
