Core and Cube Test Procedure loading rate calculations as per IS 516

[saroja kumar swain]

IS 516-1959 page no 20 section 9.8



Procedure- The Load shall be applied continuously and without shock at a rate of 140 Kg/Sq cm/min.

In machine load applied KN/Sq mm /sec.
1st convert kg/sq cm/min to KN/ Sq mm/sec.
1 kg=0.0098 KN, 1 Sq cm= 100 Sq mm, 1 Min = 60 sec
so 140 Kg/Sq cm/min= (140*0.0098)/100/60=(140*0.0098)/(100*60)=0.00022867=0.0002287 KN/ Sq mm/sec


CORE=69 mm
Surface Area of Core= π * r 2= 3.14 * 34.5 * 34.5 = 3737.385 Sq mm
Rate of loading per Second in KN for Core = 0.0002287 Kn/Sq mm/sec * 3737 Sq mm = 0.85473 Kn/sec
Rate of loading per Minute= 0.85473 * 60 = 51.28 Kn/Sec



CUBE =100*100 mm
Area of cube=100 * 100=1000 Sq mm
Rate of loading per second in KN for cube test size 100 * 100= (0.0002287 Kn/Sq mm/sec) * 1000 Sq mm = 2.287 Kn/sec
Rate of loading per Minute=2.287 Kn/Sec * 60 =137.22 KN/Minute

CUBE=150*150 mm

Area of cube=150 * 150 = 22500 Sq mm
Rate of loading per second in KN for cube test size 150 * 150= (0.0002287 Kn/Sq mm/sec) * 22500 Sq mm = 5.14 Kn/sec
Rate of loading per Minute =5.14 Kn/Sec * 60 = 308.7 KN/Minute

Note in core procedure in punching mistake
CORE=69 mm
Surface Area of Core= π *r2= 3.14*34.5*34.5=3737.385 Sq mm
Rate of loading per Second in KN for Core =0.0002287 Kn/Sq mm/sec *3737 Sq mm = 0.85473 Kn/sec
Rate of loading per Minute=0.85473*60=51.28 Kn/Min

As per standard, the rate of loading is "stress rate of loading", which is not available in many of the machine.
Since, the machine should have the capability of "servo control mechanism"; that is slightly expensive. If it is not, then you may have to control manually to the nearest.
eg. CC cubes - 5.1 kN /s

Sir how to convert kn/mm2 to kg/cm2

Sir, I would like to thank you for your valuable comments on this topic. I have learned a lot from you and your words always guide us.

very informative and easier one to understand from basics thanks for sharing Mr. saroja kumar swain.
