General information about concrete's resistance to pressure
Resistance to pressure is generally defined as the measurement of resistance to breaking under a particular pressure load at an axis during a brief point in time. The resistance to pressure of concrete is determined, taking into account the following parameters:
- Resistance of a block of cement
- Composition and compactness of concrete
- Time and conditions of storage
- Dimensions and form of element being tested
- Type and duration of load
Resistance to pressure is normally determined in laboratories using cubes or cylinders of concrete. If using cylinders, once the concrete sample has been chosen, it is recommended that a surface is immediately prepared that is flat and smooth. Cylinders are very durable. In places where it's not possible to take measurements with methods used in laboratories, a Hardness tester, with an easy to use hammer, is used.
