A concrete cube test or concrete cylinder test is generally carried out to assess the strength of concrete after 7 days, 14 days or 28 days of casting.
MoreThe cube strength of concrete is specifi ed by a structural engineer and is assessed by crushing concrete cubes at a specifi ed age (28 days after casting).
