Explain about cube test of concrete

Question

Accepted Answer

Cube test of concrete is a method to determine the compressive strength of concrete by casting cubes and testing them under specified conditions.

Concrete cubes are casted using a standard mix design and cured for a specified period of time.
After curing, the cubes are tested in a compression testing machine to determine the maximum load they can withstand before failure.
The compressive strength of concrete is calculated by dividing the maximum load by the cross-sectional area of the cube.
Cube testing is important to ensure the quality and strength of concrete used in construction projects.
The standard cube size used for testing is 150mm x 150mm x 150mm.
