Characteristic Strength of Concrete - Structural Guide

The strength that falls 5% of test results below that amount is called the characteristic strength. In other words, 95% of the test results are having the strength more than the characteristic strength. Figure 01 Indicates the probability chart that used to obtain the strength of the concrete.

The 28-Day Myth - National Precast Concrete Association

The American Concrete Institute recognizes 28 days or "the test age designated for determination of the specified compressive strength."5 Therefore, when a specifier calls for 5,000 psi concrete at 28 days, this tells the concrete producer to select a mix design that will attain a minimum of 5,000 psi 28 days after manufacture.

Strength of concrete The compressive strength of concrete is measured by how much force is required to crush it, this is important in the design of structures. In pavements and other slabs on the ground, the design is usually based on flexural strength, (i.e.; how much force the concrete can withstand in bending before it breaks).
