BREAK-OFF TEST FOR HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE
High-strength concrete is one of the latest advances in concrete technology, boasting such advantages as compressive strength levels above 60 MPa, high workability, improvements in early age performance, and durability. This paper examines the suitability of the break-off test to assess strength development of high-strength concrete. Regression equations between break-off pressure and compressive strength were computed. Different variables and their effects are discussed, including age, type of coarse aggregate, and strength level. Findings reveal that the break-off test is suitable to assess the quality of concretes with compressive strength levels up to 100 MPa.
