INTRODUCTION

In the development of activity is studied and the test procedure will work to determine
the compressive strength and flexural tension breakage two specimens, using standard
pastes and cured so that the only variable is the quality of cement . Due to the
requirement and teach acquired with increasing frequency, the comparison and analysis
of relevant parameters which determine the quality of the specimens performed on a
work. In this test all the details about the manufacturing process delas mortar specimens
intended for testing compression fracture and flexo-traction we do to determine their
mechanical properties are explained.

All this development has been made following the specifications of the standard ATSM
C.31.Tanto in the size and characteristics of the test pieces, as in the manufacturing
process and maintenance thereof itself.

OBJECTIVE.

• Determine the maximum compressive strength of two specimens of concrete age of

14 days.

• Learn the process and protection of the specimens cured, to obtain their maximum
strength.

Compressive strength

 It is the most common measure of performance used by engineers to design any

structure.
 Test results of compressive strength are mainly used to assess compliance of
concrete supplied with the specified strength f 'c.
 NTP 339.034 ASTM C 39
 Used to standardize with neoprene pad caps.

Procedure for the development of specimens

 Filling and compacting into three equal layers. Overfilling the last layer.
 25 strokes with the rod.
 10 to 15 lateral blows with rubber mallet.
 Surface furring
 Identify specimens.
 PROTECT to prevent evaporation.
 A bad finish of the cylinder side effects concrete strength
Quality control resistance
We discuss three samples in the laboratory two test tubes and a sample beam
Sample probe

 The specimen that we have the following data:

 Height of 30.5cm
 Diameter 15.25cm
 14 day
 Weight 2.93

Finally we get:
f = 196.39 Kg/cm^2
Falla = 35.87
Resístanse = 87%
Second test tube analysis of two
 analyze the compression of the specimen with the following data

 Height 20cm
 diameter 10.05cm
 Concrete 14 días
 Objective to get 87%
 Weight 2.93 kg

Finally we get:
f = 341.33 Kg/cm^2
Falla = 27.07
Resístanse = 87
ANALYSIS OF RESISTANCE IN A BEAM
Analyze a sample beam compression resistance has the following data:

 A height of 15 cm
 Width 15 cm
 Length 52cm
 Fiberglass
CURING

The main objective by which to curing is to achieve adequate strength, have conducted
laboratory tests show that a concrete in a dry environment can lose up to 50% of its
potential strength compared to similar one in wet conditions another factor that cannot
forget is the temperature, despite a poured concrete at high temperatures earn a quick
early age resistance this resistance can be reduced over time.
Another important point is the durability correct curing brings to concrete, the concrete
under optimum moisture conditions have improved surface hardness and resist wear
and abrasion, another plus is that correct curing makes the concrete is impervious to
water which will increase the service life not only concrete but of the same structure.
The curing on site
While remaining in the work, it is the curing process that allows control of temperature
and humidity of the concrete, thus starting the development of the properties
considered in its design, specifically its resistance. All this is done based on the standard
ATSM C.31.

CONCLUSION

The test performed in the laboratory can be concluded that the concrete has high
compressive strength, in the same way could determine how resistant the material
when this is subjected to axial loads, on the other hand all learned about the procedure
for perform testing compressive strength of concrete and also knowledge for curing the
specimens were acquired, as this should be done under ASTM standards, for the
concrete to achieve maximum durability and strength compressive.
