THE EFFECT ON STRENGTH OF THE COMPOSITION OF CONCRETE

THE TESTS DESCRIBED IN THIS PAPER INDICATE HOW THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE IS INFLUENCED, NOT ONLY BY THE WATER- CEMENT RATIO, BUT ALSO BY OTHER FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE COMPOSITION OF CONCRETE, SUCH AS THE GRADING OF AGGREGATES, EXPRESSED BY THE PERCENTAGE OF FINE AGGREGATE AND THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF COARSE AGGREGATE, THE CEMENT CONTENT AND THE MODULUS OF ELASTICITY. THESE TESTS WERE MADE TO DETERMINE THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE AS WELL AS ITS MODULUS OF RUPTURE AND TENSILE STRENGTH. /RRL/
