For testing compressive strength of cement, the size of cube used is

A) 50 mm B) 70.6 mm C) 100 mm D) 150 mm

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

According to IS: 10080 - 1982, the recommended size for testing the compressive strength of cement cubes is indeed 70.6 mm. Thank you for providing the accurate information. The size of 150 mm is typically used for testing the compressive strength of concrete cubes, not cement cubes.

The most common strength test, compressive strength, is carried out on a 50 mm (2-inch) cement mortar test specimen. The test specimen is subjected to a compressive load (usually from a hydraulic machine) until failure. This loading sequence must take no less than 20 seconds and no more than 80 seconds.
