Strength, as associated with cmu, is expressed in two distinct values: Cmu compressive strength is the psi calculated from the net area of the individual unit. The minimum average net compressive strength per ASTM C90, as of the 2014 edition, is 2000 net psi. Previous editions of C90 indicated 1900 net psi.

Strength test results of concrete cylinders are used as the basis of acceptance of ready mixed concrete when a strength requirement is specified. Cylinders are molded from a sample of fresh concrete, cured in standard conditions and tested at a particular age, as indicated in the specification, usually at 28 days.

Strength of concrete in the hardened state is usually measured by the COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH using the Compression Test. See CHAPTER 3 Concrete Testing Strength and Durability are affected by: COMPACTION Compaction is removing the air from concrete. Proper compaction results in concrete with an increased density which is stronger and more durable.

Conclusions regarding concrete compressive strength can be derived from a series of tests. The characteristics of concrete strength can be accurately estimated when an adequate number of tests are conducted in accordance with standard practices and test methods. Statistical procedures provide valuable tools when evaluating strength test results.

All concrete test hammers measure the surface hardness of the material they are testing; this is then correlated to concrete compressive strength. The manual concrete test hammer, aka rebound hammer, schmidt hammer, swiss hammer, sclerometer, is the most widely used non destructive instrument for compressive strength determination.
