Concrete Cube is normally tested on 7 and 28 day of concreting until any special
requirement for early test. A set of 6 cube moulds are casted with 3 cube moulds on 7th day
and another 3 cube moulds on 28th day.
The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete of each grade shall be in accordance with
IS:456-2000 with the following :
NOTE – Atleast one sample shall be taken from each shift. Where concrete is produced at
continuous production unit, such as ready-mixed concrete plant, frequency of sampling
may be agreed upon mutually by suppliers and purchasers.
There are different size of concrete cube moulds as , 50,100,150,225 and 300 mm.
= 0.003375 Cum.
= 1 / 0.003375
= 296.296
= 296 Cubes
= 296/6
= 49.33
NOTE – 49 Cube Sets can be casted without considering any wastage factor.

A concrete cube is of the size 150mm and thus it's volume will be 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.15 =
0.003375 Cubic meter
So theoretically, One Cubic metre of concrete should be able to cast (1/0.003375)= 296.29
cubes considering no concrete is wasted during handling of the same.
As a rule of thumb, if a wastage of 10% is considered, the number of cubes that can be cast
with one cubic metre of concrete will be 296.29/1.10 = 269.35 cubes, say approximately 270
cubes.

Minimum samples of cube per m3 concrete quantity…..
For greater than51 m3 concrete - (4+1)sample - i.e. for every 50m3 - 1 sample additional
