Compressive strength is an essential property in structural materials, for example, mortar, which comprises the interacial transtition zone in concrete, stone, and steel, since material design is normally evaluated in terms of the risk of compression failure. In addition the CBM is known as having strength for compression force. Therefore plenty of standard tests …

4. Strength changes during drying at elevated temperatures. Generally, the compressive strength of concrete with thermal treatment was affected by two competitive effects [20], [21], [24], [37]. The first was microcracks, which were highly dependent on the tensile strength and would cause a decrease in strength.

In another study, Fred and Cormick [25] examined the effect of sand size on the compressive strength of ed concrete. The used sands had a different modulus of softness (2.1, 2.7, and 3.7). The results indicated that the compressive strength of ed concrete increases with the finer grain size, probably due to the change in the pore size.
