decreases the strength of concrete.
2)quality of cement- firstely check the quality of cement .
3)raw material properties like silt in sand,flaky,
elogation,& hardness of aggregate.
4)mixing & sampling of concrete.
5)compaction & curing of cubes.
6)test machine accuracy.

Answer / v.purushotham

The fallowing check points to be done:
 In between interval you should check the mix ratio
i.e. volume/ weight of material,
 Check cement ratio,
 Check slump while pouring the concrete,
 Check the proper mixing of concrete,
 Check the procedure of filling and compacting of
cube mould,
 Check the bulkage of sand,
 Check the gradation of material every 15/ 30 days
interval and compare the designed materials properties,
 Last but not least check the proper curing of
concrete cubes.
