    The document summarizes an experiment to test the compressive strength of concrete blocks. Three blocks were tested within 72 hours of delivery to the lab. The maximum compressive load applied to each block was recorded and used to calculate the compressive strength. The average compressive strength of the blocks was found to be 9.331 MPa, meeting the Iraqi standard specification of 9 MPa for type-B blocks. Based on the results, the blocks could be used for partition walls but not for load bearing walls due to issues with the manufacturing process.

    1-introduction:

    Concrete can be converted into precast masonry units such as Hollow and
    Solid normal and light weight concrete blocks of suitable size to be used
    for load and non-load bearing units for walling. Depending upon the
    structural requirements of masonry unit, concrete mixes can be designed
    using ingredients available locally or if not found suitable then with in the
    most economical distance. The compressive strength depends mainly on
    their mix composition, degree of compaction, aggregates
    type and curing condition.
    2- purpose:

    The obtained data are important for the safety and proper performance of
    masonry structures and know quality level of block in the region .

    6- Procedure:

    1. Three representative units are needed for testing within 72 hr after


    delivery to the laboratory, during which time they are stored. (temp. 24 ±
    8 Cº and relative humidity of less than 80%).
    2. The test is performed on a full sized unit.
    3. Measure the length, width, and height of the specimen.
    4. Position the test specimen with it centroid aligned with the center of
    testing machine.

    5. the machine put a load with a speed (rate) of 0.2 (MPa/sec).


    6. Record the maximum compressive load (kN, N,lb).
    7- Calculation and Results:

    𝑃
    𝜎=
    𝐴
    σ: Compressive strength (MPa).
    P: maximum applied load (N).
    A: Average of the gross areas of the upper and lower bearing surface of
    the block (mm2).

    Load (P) = 577.6 KN = 577600N

    Area = 194.666(width)398.75(length) = 77623.1 mm2.

    𝜎 = 7.44 MPa.

    Table 1: Data get it from test.

    specimen Area,(mm2) Load , P(KN) Comressive strength


    (N/mm2, or MPa)
    1 77623.1 577600 7.44
    2 76760 833000 10.825
    3 78800 896100 11.37
    4 76246 553000 7.28
    5 78000 759800 9.74

    Average = (7.44+10.825+11.37+7.28+9.74)/5 = 9.331(MPa). (Type-B)

    8-Discussion and Conclusions:

    Discussion:

    We got in group (C1) 7.44 (MPa) for our block and this was expected ,
    because if the block was less than 7 (MPa) we can't use it for building ,it
    isn't the best block (it's type-B) , I think the dimension was not exactly
    standard(40,20,15) and maybe the mixture of block was not accurate
    (not let it dry or cured enough) and for that we didn't get the (type-A),
    but in (Iraqi standard specification) for Type-B is 7 (MPa) for one block
    and 9 (MPa) for average and in group (C1) we got 7.44 (MPa) for one
    block and the average of group (C) was 9.331 (MPa) that was
    corresponds with Iraq standard that is (Type-B) , and we can use this for
    partition wall but we can't use it for load bearing wall because it can't
    carry load.

    B 5 4.5 15
    Solid A 13 11 15
    B 9 7 20

    Conclusion:

    From our data we get it , we can use the block that we got but not for
    carrying too much load and this because bug in manufacturing , but we
    can use it for partition wall.
