A) Determine the mean compressive strength of specimen for respective curing
age.
Curing is an important step in the compressive strength test of concrete
specimens. It is involves providing controlled conditions to promote hydration
and the development of deep strength the concrete. The curing process helps
the concrete achieve the desired strength and durability characteristics. Here are
some important details about curing in compressive strength testing. Among
them is to cure the condition. Specimens are subject to special preservation
conditions, which may include standard curing (moist curing at a certain
temperature), water curing, or accelerated curing methods. Curing time may
vary depending on requirements but usually include 14, and 21 days. Then the
curing period, the specimen is preserved under controlled conditions for the
prescribed curing period. At this time, it is important to maintain temperature,
humidity and moisture content according to the prescribed preservation method.
The last is water preservation. In water curing, the specimen is completely
immersed in water during the curing period. This method provides a constant
supply of moisture to the concrete.

B) Discuss the effect of curing age in development of compressive strength of


concrete

The curing age of concrete plays a crucial role in the development of its
compressive strength. Curing refers to the process of maintaining adequate
moisture and temperature conditions for concrete to properly hydrate and gain
strength. During the curing period, various chemical reactions take place, leading
to the formation of strong and durable concrete.

Regarding the strength of water brick compared to dry brick, it is worth noting
that water brick is significantly stronger than dry brick.

In summary, the longer the concrete is cured, the more time it has to undergo
the hydration process, resulting in increased compressive strength. Adequate
water availability, appropriate temperature conditions, and suitable curing
methods are essential factors in ensuring optimal strength development.
Additionally, it is important to recognize that the strength of water brick is
significantly higher than dry brick
C) Make comparison on the development of strength rate of both types of
concrete

Based on the graph, the sustainable material destroys the brick on the 14th day,
it shows that the compressive strength test showed wet brick 21.8 MPa and
crushed dry brick 20.8 MPa, this means the test was successful and also
completely necessary. In addition, the compressive strength of concrete can
indeed be influenced by various factors including the size and condition of the
materials used.

In the case of comparing concrete that uses moist bricks, the difference in
compression strength can be attributed to several factors related to size,
condition, and characteristics each material and its effect on the overall
composition of the concrete mix The size of the material used in concrete can
have a significant effect on its compression strength. Larger brick sizes allow for
better distribution stress and load bearing capacity in the concrete matrix,
resulting in higher compression strength. Material characteristics, including
composition, density, and strength, can also affect the compressive strength of
concrete. the density and strength of the bricks contribute to higher compressive
strength. Then, the brick dries has a lower density which can introduce air voids
and reduce overall concrete mix density. These factors can affect the resulting
compressive strength concrete.

In summary, the difference in compressive strength between concrete that uses


moist bricks and dry bricks can be attributed to factors such as material size,
characteristics, conditions, which concrete mix composition, and curing process.
Careful consideration of these factors during mix design, testing and curing is
necessary to optimize compressive strength and overall performance of
concrete. Conduct specialized laboratory tests and related consultations codes,
standards or guidelines can provide further insight into compressive strength
characteristics of these various types of concrete.
