The difference in compressive strength is due to the difference between the modulus of elasticity of concrete and that of the steel which is used to apply the compressive force on the concrete. The pressure applies a lateral confinement pressure which is equal to d/3 meaning that for the cylinder, 2d/3 is confined leaving d/3 unconfined whereas for the cylinder 2d/3 is confined means all of the cube is confined. This leads to the cube having a higher compressive strength that the cylinder. For more information, try to read about the triaxial test and the effect of confinement on the compressive strength of soil samples.

What is different between a triangular prism and a cylinder?
A triangular prism has triangles as its bases...a cylinder has circles as its bases.no one fricken cares
Is there a difference between right cylinder and cylinder?
yes ones on the right
What the relationships between cylinder and prism?
Technically, a cylinder is a prism, as it has a fixed shape at the end.
What is the relationsip between volume and radius of a cylinder?
It is volume of a cylinder = pi*radius2*height or length
What phrase describes the perpendicular distance between two bases of a cylinder?
It is the length or height of the cylinder
What is the difference between fc and fcu in concrete?
f ′c: concrete compressive strength at 28 days (compression is negative) fcu: concrete crushing strength (compression is negative)
What is the compressive strength of M35 concrete at 28 days?
35N/mm2 actually, the '35' respresents the characteristic design strength of the concrete. this strength is pivotal in design as its the 'lowest fair estimate' of strength.in reality tere is a margin for error (between 5-10MPa)and a 5% defectives built in to a normal probability curve.in my latest research i have found that in some cases the characteristic design strength (in your case 35MPa) can almost be underestimated by 20%.the importance is on-site testing, but as previously stated, if you design to 35MPa... you are definitely on the safe side of concretes inevitable variability
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 the difference between compressive strength and target strength?
Compressive strength of concrete is defined as the concrete cube of 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm with specified proportion with 28 days curing.Target mean strength - In order that not more than the specified proportion of test results are likely to fall below the characteristic strength, the concrete mix has to be designed for a somewhat higher target average compressive strength (fck).__fck = fck + t * swhere ___fck is target average compressive strength at 28 days,fck is a characteristic compressive strength at 28 days ands standard deviationt a statistic, depending upon the accepted proportion of low results and the number of tests.
What is the strength of concrete after 28 days?
The compressive strength of M25 concrete at 7 days will be between 6-7.5 N/mm2 .
How concrete pump works?
A concrete pump which comprises an elongated hollow housing in which a valve element reciprocates. The valve element includes a pair of transversely extending tubes and a pair of concrete guiding chambers. The valve element moves between two positions. In the first position a first guide chamber is opposite a first pump cylinder and guides concrete from an upright conduit associated with the first pump cylinder into the first pump cylinder and a first tube is opposite a second pump cylinder and guides concrete from the second pump cylinder into a discharge line associated with the second pump cylinder. At the second position a second guide chamber is opposite the second pump cylinder and guides concrete from an upright conduit associated with the second pump cylinder into the second pump cylinder and the second tube is opposite the first pump cylinder and guides concrete from the first pump cylinder into the discharge line associated with the first pump cylinder.
What is the difference between a compressive force and a compressive strength?
A compressive force is a type of external force that acts to compress or squeeze an object, while compressive strength is a material property that quantifies how much compressive force a material can withstand before it fails. Compressive force is the cause, while compressive strength is the measure of resistance.
What quality of touch distinguishes types of compressive force as being light moderate varied or deep?
The depth and pressure applied during the compressive force determine whether it is light, moderate, varied, or deep. Light compressive force involves gentle pressure without sinking into the tissues, while deep compressive force penetrates deeper into the muscles creating more intense pressure. Moderate compressive force falls in between, and varied compressive force combines different levels of pressure throughout the massage.
When did John Smeaton invent concrete?
Between 1556 and 1793; but different types of concrete are known from the antiquity.
Why is it that that concrete is stronger at bottom of column than on top?
when concrete is vibrated while pouring in to the form work, the cement slurry part tends to get drained through voids between aggregates and the richest part of cement slurry is detained at bottom portion of column. this causes a strong, dense, and void free concrete which ensures better compressive strength than the concrete on top portion of column.
What is difference between 43 and 53 grade opc cement?
43 grade OPC Cement it denotes the compressive strength of concrete in 43 Mega pascals will attain in 28 days. it is normally used for pavements, Non RCC structures and which are not important for initial strength. where as 53 Grade OPC Cement it denotes the compressive strength of 53 Mega Pascals will attain in concrete with the 28days, and it is used for RCC strengths and which are important to gain initial strength.
What is the differences between C30 Concrete and C40?
The number relates to the compressive strength of a cube of concrete when tested (i.e. 30 N/mm2 or 40N/mm2) The higher the number the greater the strength of the concrete. The choice of concrete grade is usually made at the design stage for the strucutre and effects the overall strength and resistance of the strucutre to decay. You would use a higher strength concrete in a more exposed environment. It is important to use the concrete grade specified for the proposed strucutre.
