You are assigned to monitor the concrete strength gain at a construction site. The ultimate compressive strength of the concrete at its full maturity is 450 kg/m. The average concrete temperature at the construction site is 25 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night (assuming 12-hour day/night cycles). If you assume that the datum temperature (To) is - 10 °C, estimate the strength of concrete after 14 days. (4=35, B=51)Maturity Index, M = E(T - To).

Q-2: Flexural and compressive strengths are required for a special type of cement. Forthis purpose, TS EN 196-1 standard procedure was followed. First, flexural strength testwas conducted on cement mortar bars. The distance between the supports is 10 cm. Asa result of the flexural test, the breaking loads were obtained as 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 kN. Afterthat, the compressive strength test is conducted on the broken halves of the mortar bars.The 28-day compressive strength test results obtained on six modified cubes are 58, 53,50, 60, 54, 64 kN.a) Calculate average flexural strength value as MPa.b) Calculate average compressive strength value as MPa.c) Which strength class is this type of cement in according to TS EN 197-1?
