ESTIMATION OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

DEAR ALL

HOW CAN WE ESTIMATE 1,3. 7 & 28 DAYS STRENGTH BY KNOWING THE OXIDE COMPOSITION OF CLINKER OR CEMENT ALONG WITH BLAINE.

IS THERE ANY FORMULA FOR THE SAME.

ALSO IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT FOR 1,3,7 & 28 DAYS. I MEAN IS THERE ANY LOGICAL DIFFRENCE BETWEEN TWO CONSEQUTIVE STRENGTH VALUES?

PL. REPLY

re ESTIMATION OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

There is a simple formula for calculating the kinetics of    hardening cement concretes

Rn=R28 * Ln(n)/ln(28)

where Rn - strength in n-days, R28 - strength in 28 days, n - days, 28 days

Example; in 7-days you has strength 23 MPa, in 28 days strength will be

R28=23 * Ln28/Ln7 =23* 3.33/1.94=39.4 MPa
