| School of the Built Environment | | The Strength of Plain Concrete | School of the Built Environment The Strength of Plain Concrete Introduction: In this report I will tabulate and comment on the results obtained in class and through the use of books and journals. I will carry out calculations in relation to the water/cement ratio and comparing the difference on the two methods used to test the strength (Compressive and Tensile splitting). Both tests are carried out on the same machine but using two different techniques to achieve the required results. Some results may not be with the average of standard tests carried out in the same way, due to some human error in the marking of which concrete was Non-Compacted and Partially Compacted on the day of the tests. But with regards this I think that the results and expectations have been quite accurate.
