Concrete being the major consumable material after water makes it quite inquisitive in its nature. The strength of concrete is majorly derived from aggregates, where-as cement and sand contribute binding and workability along with flowability to concrete.. This is an in-depth article on Compressive Strength of Concrete.

Two blocks 6X8X9 inches, 22 months old, showed crushing strength of 2,530 and 2,610 pounds per square inch. These blocks were made of cement 1.25 parts, lime 0.5 part, sand and gravel 6 parts, and were tamped from damp mixture. It is probably safe to assume that the minimum crushing strength of well-made blocks, 1 to 5, is 1,000 pounds per

Abandoned concrete blocks are high-quality concrete aggregates which have many advantages. For example, after the buildings are dismantled, the high-quality concrete blocks and silt after crushing and screening can be used as recycled coarse and fine aggregates for concrete. The fine powder can be directly used as the raw material of cement.

in these experiments the mix (containing approximately three gallons of water per bag of cement) was the same as that regularly used at this plant for both products. the plant practices of mixing, molding, and curing were followed. additions of calcium chloride increased the compressive strength of the block and the crushing strength of the pipe.
