The compressive strength of the concrete and concrete testing is must known information in structural design. Compressive strength is initially checked by doing mix design to make sure the grade of concrete considered in the structural design is achieved. Concrete cube testing or cylinder testing is done to check the development of the strength ...

Mar 31, 2019 While traditional concrete normally has a compressive strength ranging anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 psi, UHPC can have a compressive strength of up to 10 times that of traditional concrete. After just 14 days of curing, UHPC has a compressive strength of 20,000 psi. This number increases to 30,000 psi when fully cured for 28 days.
