Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) is an index of loss of coarse aggregate (CA) under sustained loading. However, ACV is not considered in concrete mix design according to ACI 211.1(ACI 211.1, 2009). In this paper effect of ACV of CA on compressive strength of concrete has been explored. Coarse Aggregate was collected from five different …

In practice, concrete is initially tested for compressive strength by casting a cube/cylinder, which is left to cure in favourable conditions until the date of testing. The results obtained from such tests can give a consultant guidance on the material's properties such as estimated porosity, density and compressive strength. These tests are known as control …

In order to convert all core specimens to approximately the same strength basis as the standard 6x12-inch test cylinder, a correction factor is applied to the calculated strength. This factor, based on the ratio of length to diameter (l/d), has been given as 0.98 for l/d = 1.75, 0.96 for l/d = 1.50, 0.93 for l/d = 1.25 and 0.87 for l/d = 1.00.
One of the parameters which affect the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock materials is the length to diameter ratio (L/D) of test cores. ASTM recommends a ratio of between 2 and 2.5, and ISRM suggests 2.5–3:1. Research has shown that high UCS values are obtained for L/D ratios <2, a very slight difference in values between 2 …
