Concrete Mix Design and Strength Experiments

The document lists 12 experiments related to plain and reinforced concrete. The experiments include designing concrete mixes, comparing compressive strength from cylindrical and cube specimens, determining the effect of water-cement and aggregate-cement ratios on compressive strength, and estimating compressive strength using a rebound hammer test. Other experiments involve determining split tensile strength, modulus of rupture, crushing value of aggregates, soundness of cement, and the effect of rate of loading and shear reinforcement on concrete beams.
