Concrete compressive strength develops over time and depends on water-cement ratio, curing, and aggregate quality. It's the primary design property.

Trinn-for-trinn guide

  1. 1Test at 7, 14, and 28 days to track strength gain
  2. 2Design strength (f'c) typically 28-day compressive strength
  3. 3Results guide concrete selection and timing of load application

Vanlige feil å unngå

  • Using 7-day strength for design when 28-day is specified
  • Neglecting quality control testing effects

Ofte stilte spørsmål

Can concrete be loaded before 28 days?

Yes, but at reduced capacity. Strength at 7 days typically 60-70% of 28-day strength.

What affects concrete strength development?

Water-cement ratio (lower is stronger), curing temperature (warm speeds gain), and cement type.
