ConCrete Sampling and teSting - Precast
concrete cylinders is to determine the amount of force it takes to break a cylinder of concrete. A test cylinder is placed in a compression-testing machine, and a constant load is applied to the cylinder until it breaks. The compressive strength is calculated based
