The grade of M20 concrete is denoted by the letter M or C (Europe) stand for mix & followed by numerical figure is compressive strength. Thus compressive strength of M20 concrete is 20N/mm2 (20 MPa) or 2900 Psi.

Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value. For normal concrete strength application, say below 50MPa, the stress produced by a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is sufficient for the machine to crush the concrete sample. However, if the designed concrete strength is 100MPa, under the same force (about 2,000kN) supplied by the […]

Recycled Concrete Aggregate is that the use of debris from dismantled concrete structures. utilization is cheaper and a lot of ecological than truckage debris to a lowland.. Crushed debris is often used for road gravel, revetments, holding walls, landscaping gravel, or staple for brand spanking new concrete. giant items are often used as bricks or slabs or incorporated with new concrete into

Simple. Assume, the approx weight of one concrete cube = 8 kg Then the volume of concrete = 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.15 = 0.0033 m 3; So for 1 m 3 = 8/0.0033 = 2400 kg/ m 3. Since the concrete weight itself has also been assumed for the structural calculations, if it exceeds the assumed value, then the load on the structure will likely increase
