    This document summarizes the results of a compressive strength test of concrete cubes conducted by Mohammed Muhammed of Kabale University. Three 150mm cubes were tested at ages of 3, 7, 21, and 28 days. The average compressive strengths were 4.1 MPa at 3 days, 5.4 MPa at 7 days, 6.8 MPa at 21 days, and 7.0 MPa at 28 days. However, these values did not meet the minimum required strength of 17.7 MPa or minimum single cube strength of 11.1 MPa. This failure is attributed to poor curing where the water tank ran dry for 3 days, as well as insufficient compaction during mixing as several group

    Acceptance analysis(ref.series 7000table 7205/4 acceptance factors for strength of structural concrete)
    Checked by:
    No.of cubes tested per lot= 3
    Acceptance factor A = 2.7 (MPa) Name:
    Sign:
    Acceptance factor B = 3.9 (MPa) Date:
    Mean value xn = 7.0 (MPa)
    Min required value(X+A) = 17.7 (MPa)
    Min single value(X-B) = 11.1 (MPa)

    CONCLUSION:
    None of the cubes attained the minimum single value (11.1Mpa) as well as the minimum required
    value(17.7Mpa).
    We attribute this failure to achieve the target strengths to poor curing process as after two days the water tank
    ran dry for about three more days, also during the preparation of cubes the compaction was insufficient as many
    of the group members were learning how things are done. During design process the choice of MSA didn’t
    correspond to the actual size of aggregates we used(maybe poor sampling during gradation)
