Abstract :
Concrete's compressive strength is perhaps
the most relevant material factor to take into account
while designing structural elements. However, using this
value has become challenging because control specimen
sizes vary from nation to nation. Many studies were
conducted in past to analyse the specimen size and shape
effects on the compressive strength of concrete. The
previous investigations were conducted on different sized
cylinders and cubes. The mechanical strength values of
the specimens were observed to be decreased than the
bigger specimen. In the present study efforts are made to
study the effect on cube compressive strength for 150mm
and 300mmspecimen size for a uniform concrete mix.
