0 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I would like to thanks to Allah the Almighty God for giving me a good health and a
good life. Finally, I managed to complete this assignment. Without His help I wouldn’t able
to complete this assignment.

I also would like to thanks to my lecturer, SR DR. Nurul Fadzila Zahari who always
answer my question when I have a problem to complete this assignment. Her guidance and
advice help me through all the stages of writing my assignment.

Last but not least, I would like to thanks to my member group, Jimi, Pizul and Shira.
I’m so grateful because they are always helping me with my assignment.
2.0 OBJECTIVE TESTING

The purpose of a concrete cube test is to make sure that the concrete meets its expected
compressive strength.
3.0 MATERIAL

Concrete grade 20
Ratio (1: 2: 4)
Total ratio: 7
1. Mass of cement = 2.26 kg 2. Mass of water = 1.13 kg

Diagram 1.0 Diagram 1.1

3. Mass of sand = 4.52 kg 4. Mass of aggregate = 9.04 kg

5.0 PROCEDURE

1. Tighten up every edge of cube mould using nut or screw and coated the oil on the mould
surface.

Diagram 2.3

2. Fill the mould in the 6 cube mould in 3 layers and tamp 25 times for cube mould 100mm
size for each.

Diagram 2.4
3. Use a permanent marker and mark the cube example:
a) 7 days / 28 day
b) date
c) class

Diagram 2.5

4. Leave it for 24 hours.


5. After that, remove the cube mould and weight every concrete cube and then put the
concrete cube into the curing tank for 7 days and 28 days

Diagram 2.8
6. After day 7 or 28 days, take the concrete cube from curing tank and let it dry or wipe the
wet surface using cloth. After that, weight the cube.

7. Place the cube in the middle on the lower platen of compression test machine. Be sure that
the mark on the cube facing toward you.

8. Lower the top platen onto the cube and make sure e test machine is set to the correct
loading. Closed the test machine door to avoid any injury.

8.0 CALCULATION

Volume, V = formula of cube


= 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1
= 1 x 10 -3 m 3
Volume 6 cubes
= 1 x 10 -3 m 3 x 6
= 6 x 10 -3 m 3
Mass of concrete
= 6 x 10 -3 m 3 x 2400 kg/m3
= 14.4 kg
Wastage
20% x 14.4 kg
= 2.88 kg
Total weight of concrete:

Mass of cement, sand, aggregate and water


Total weight of concrete:
Concrete grade: 20
Concrete ratio: 1: 2: 4

Mass of cement
= 1/7 x 17.28 kg = 2.47 kg
Mass of sand
= 2/7 x 17.28 kg = 4.94 kg
Mass of aggregate
= 4/7 x 17.28 kg = 9.87 kg
Mass of water
= 2.24 x 0.5 = 1.24 kg

8.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, from two experiment, we found that concrete cube in 28 days more strength
than the concrete cube in 7 days because concrete cube in 28 days can bear weight 349.57
KN while concrete cube in 7 days can only bear weight 292.49 KN. We also found out that
our mistake that we don’t fully tamping cube test for days 7 which cause the strength of
concrete cube.
