ENB205 Study Guide - Portland Cement, Grading On A Curve, Kaolinite
Document Summary
I would like to present to you this report, containing the analysis of three concrete samples where all of which were designed to meet the compressive strength standards of a dam wall. The raw data was obtained through compression testing, which was then manipulated through calculations to determine their density, compressive strength, standard deviation and characteristic strength. The purpose of this report was to give an insight into the properties of concrete, and to investigate the effects that defects have on these properties. Furthermore, this report discusses the applications of different types of concrete in construction. This report was conducted to give an insight into the mechanical properties of concrete, and to investigate how variables in the mix design affect these properties. Compression testing took place to determine the maximum compressive strength of each sample, and the dimensions and mass of each sample were collected.
