At the time of bleeding, water comes out of the surface of concrete being lowest specific gravity among all other ingredients.

Compressive strength test is important for concrete because it takes on compressive stress. Tensile stress are taken by steel.

But we are not performing tensile test on mortar cube. Other three answers are correct. I'm confused about Tensile strength.

Sujan kumar said:   1 decade ago
Tensile strength is for steel, not cement.

Compressive strength is a property of cement concrete consistence is essential.

Tensile strength are no discuss, only compressive strength calculate, because it is 10% of compressive strength.

All the above test should be done for quality control. Because the setting time, soundness is very important.

Type of test is required for fresh concrete one chack its mix design, slump test, water-cement ratio.

Hi friends please explain:

1) Type of test in fresh concrete ?
2) Why concrete is segregated ?

Truly, for a concrete to be attested for maximum strength all the test should be performed.

The initial setting time of cement is 30 minutes and the final setting time is 10 hours.
