If a concrete test cylinder measuring 6 in. × 12 in. breaks when the load on it reaches 169.5 k, what is the compressive strength of concrete? Express the strength in psi.
What will be an ideal response?
Load, P = 169.5 k
Area on which the load acts, A = 6 in. dia. circle = (!r2) = (!)32 = 28.27 in.2
