Concrete Strength Testing

Concrete strength testing assesses how strong and durable the concrete is, ensuring it can safely support structures. Typically, small samples called cylinders or cubes are made from the concrete mix, then cured for a set period. These samples are then crushed or compressed in a machine to measure the maximum stress they can withstand before breaking. The results help engineers confirm the concrete meets the desired specifications, ensuring safety and longevity of buildings, bridges, and roads. This testing procedure is a standard quality control method used throughout the construction process.
