1. objective. The compressive strength of concrete is given in terms of the characteristic compressive strength of 150 mm size cubes tested at 28 days (f ck)- as per Indian Standards (ACI standards use cylinder of diameter 150 mm and height 300 mm).The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of the concrete below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fall.

The size of specimen's cubes was 150 × 150 × 150 mm, 100 × 100 × 100 mm and 50 × 50 × 50 mm against the size of specimen's cylinders which was 150 × 300 mm and 100 × 200 mm. These sizes were chosen because it represented the sizes that are most commonly used locally and universally in the construction research.

Compressive strength of concrete: Out of many test applied to the concrete, this is the utmost important which gives an idea about all the characteristics of concrete.By this single test one judge that whether Concreting has been done properly or not. For cube test two types of specimens either cubes of 15 cm X 15 cm X 15 cm or 10cm X 10 cm x 10 cm depending upon the size of aggregate are used.

Using Hiramatsu and Oka's equation, tensile strengths of the cubes (15.0 × 15.0 mm) and of the prisms (15.0 × 30.0 mm) were assumed to be equivalent to that of a sphere (diameter 15.0 mm) of ~ 1767 mm 3 volume. The tensile strengths appear overestimated, as the 15.0 mm-diameter sphere volume is 2-4 times lower than that of the cube and prism.
