Concrete Compressive Strength test Discussion: 1.Why did you use three samples? 2. What changes do you need to apply if you were to use three standard cube samples instead? (reference needed) 3. According to the relevant Australian Standards, what is the acceptable tolerance for your target strength and target workability? (reference the standard clause you have used to  answer the question). In what range should the values of your compressive test and slump results be to be deemed acceptable?
