Concrete is a man-made material essentially mixed at the site. The properties of concrete depend on the properties of its ingredients and their proportion and it is likely to vary from mix to mix. Tests must be conducted, therefore to ensure that the concrete used is in accordance with design specifications. A frequent test is the test of compressive strngth in which concrete samples are tested to failure.
