1.

It is best to analyze the ration when deciding when to use the compressive strength
and flexural strength, which is considering compressive strength to be eight times
bigger compared to flexural strength. Since the ration relies on the level of strength of
the concrete, when it is higher than the compressive strength then the lower the ration
becomes. The tensile strength increases in a lower rate than compressive strength.
2. There is a certain standard for raw materials serves as a foundation. While the fresh
and hardened concrete is an inseparable part of any quality control since the concrete
aids in attaining a higher efficiency of the raw materials used and provides an
assurance that the quality of the specimen isn’t compromised.

HOST MACHINE
Tension tests the (middle part) compressive intellectual strength that should be
conducted at the compression and flexural section.
Oil Cylinder (Piston) (bottom middle) is fixed on the bottom supported with bolts, and the
piston is placed on the worktable, when it is moving, the worktable column move as
well.
Double column provides superior axial and lateral stiffness when the upper and lower
plate meet as they start the compression.
Grip control system mounted direct at the machine – It is adjusted at the original test
space and can clamp the upper and lower clamp automatically in column lift upper
cross head to achieve tensile.

MACHINE CONTROLLER
Power Switch enables the machine controller to work, and for the oil pump, the switch
must be pressed to start and pump motor unit inside the controller cabinet. Hand
wheel for loading is used to control loading, while hand wheel is for unloading hydraulic
oil. Jaw is a tensile grip switch; the tensile grip and remote box will be able to work
after pressing the button.
