Answer / viki

the 28 days cube strength for M-25 grade
concrete should be 25N/mm2.
acceptance criteria are some conditions defined by IS 456
regarding characteristic strength of concrete when the mix
is prepared on site.strength tests are performed on 4
blocks of concrete.avg strength is calculated.
then fck+3 means that the avg strength of the concrete mix
at the site should be 3N/mm2 greater than fck of mix.
i.e. mean strength= (fck+3)N/mm2
(refer IS456 CLAUSE 16)

Answer / p c debnath

fck +3 is the average/mean strength of four consecutive set
of cube

Answer / ashwani kumar

AFTER 28 DAY M-25 GRADE CUBE STRENGTH IS 25 N/MM2 , ITS
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA IN THE IS-456, FCK+3 IS AVG
CHARACTERSRICK SRENGTH OF CONCRETE.

Answer / n pandian

The quality of concrete is acceptable only if both 1) and 2) are satisfied:
1) As per column 2 in Table 11 of IS 456 – 2000, mean of the group of 4 
non-overlapping consecutive test results shall be greater than or equal to
a) (fck + 0.825s)   N/mm2

where fck is the characteristic compressive strength of concrete;
s is the established standard deviation which is to be arrived for  
atleast 30 samples as early as possible at site. 


Note: In the absence of established standard deviation value assumed standard deviation values given in Table 8 of IS: 456-2000 may be used.

b) (fck + 3)  N/mm2 for M15 or (fck + 4)for N20 and above
a) or b) whichever is greater








2) As per column 3 in Table 11 of IS: 456 – 2000, Individual test Results (ITR) shall be greater than or equal to (fck - 3)  N/mm2.

Q1) I am having an interview in a construction company for a large sewage project . Since I have not done any such project , there are some queries from my end. Pls. help me to solve them. I will be thankful to you :- a) Normally for large project 400-600 houses & around 1600 peoples , how much dia pipe is used and which type of pipe is used? b) For trenching , I have heard that IS 1200 implies, what are the rules of calculating earthwork in case of depth of 2m or above ? c) To prevent soil to fall when depth of trench is more , what steps are taken and how there qty. is calculated . Like I have heard about timbering . what is this ? d) What are the rules for disposing off the excavated soil ? e) How the pipes that are used are being jointed? f) In case of cleaning on choks , is there any intermediate things provided? g) For foul gases any outlets are provided thru out length of pipeline? h) What is the flow digram like from houses thru small pipe to main pipeline than where main pipeline disposes wastage ? i) Any other thing that has to be kept in mind while calculating earth work for excavation like steps are made and other things? How earthwork is calculated in case of steps ? Pls. explain with a sketch. Regards,
