av. comp. strength of concrete of std. cube for 3,7,28 days.
is it 60,70,100% pl confirm

Ankitkumar says:

From practical and laboratory results, We can consider,
1 day-30%, 3 days-50% , 7days-70% & 28days-100%

At laboratory trials, It should be to Target design Compressive strength

At site condition, It should be to Standard Compressive Strength

zaryab khan says:

how can i calculate the weigjt of 10 m long 15mm dia steel bar????????/

raj says:

compute the volume of your steel [10m x 0.7854 x (15/1000)^2] and multiply it to the density of the steel (7850 kg/m^3)

Ankitkumar says:

You can use formula..

((d x d)/162)* L
where d is dia of bar, L is length of bar.
As per standard diamenion of reinforcing steel bar, following bars are available…
6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 32mm
