iii) Initial Setting Time = 75 minutes
iv) Final Setting Time = 185 minutes
v) 7 days compressive strength of cement = 33.33 N/mm2 (average of 3 cubes)

Observed slump =100 mm

7 Days Compressive Strength= 28.6 N/mm2 (average of 3 Cubes)
28 Days Compressive Strength= 34.5 N/mm2 (average of 3 Cubes)
The 28 Days strength of all the mix is more than the required strength of the concrete
mixes. Thus it confirms the preliminary trial mix testing stage. Necessary changes can be
made later on after arriving the exact value of standard deviation of compressive strength.
