Abstract:
National codes require determining the compressive strength based on tests conducted on standard cylinders or cubes, but these codes do not provide correlations between cube strength and cylinder strength. Experiments have shown that cube-to-cylinder strength ratios are functions of specimen size and concrete strength.
