Which test is used to measure the compressive strength of concrete?
Correct Answer: Cube test
- Step 1: Understand that compressive strength is how much pressure concrete can handle before it breaks.
- Step 2: Know that the cube test is a method used to measure this strength.
- Step 3: In the cube test, concrete is poured into cube-shaped molds.
- Step 4: After the concrete hardens, the cubes are taken out of the molds.
- Step 5: The cubes are then placed in a machine that applies pressure until they break.
- Step 6: The amount of pressure the cubes can withstand before breaking is recorded as the compressive strength.
