concrete cylinders

Concrete cylinders are cylindrical samples of concrete used to test its strength and quality. Typically about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide, these samples are made by pouring fresh concrete into molds and allowing it to harden. Once cured, they undergo standardized tests where they are compressed until they break. The results help engineers assess whether the concrete meets safety and durability standards for construction projects like buildings, bridges, and roads. This testing ensures that the concrete used in structures can withstand the intended loads and environmental conditions.
