Abstract
In the construction industry, it is usually essential to compute the ultimate strength of
concrete material to withstand compression. It is for this reason that extensive research is being
carried out on the scientific principles behind a variety of concrete mix designs. So far, studies
show that the best way to determine the capability of concrete to withstand loads is by carrying
out the compressive strength test. In modern constructions, there is an increased prevalence for
concrete, and consequently, the need to understand the design process of the mix, manufacturing
and strength test is becoming a crucial task in construction works. The design of the lab at hand
is to illustrate features of particular designs of mix and the impact of their compression yield
force on a package of concrete sample. Learners need to batch some amo...
