fc'=0.785 fck
fck=1.273 fc'
fc'=strength of cylinder
fck=strength of cube
Respected,
i want to understand that how to convert strength of a cylinder into cube strength..
Not sure

With regards to concrete strength, a cylinder test strength is usually between 5 and 25 percent less than a cube test strength. You can also try using this equation: fbk=(fck-1.77)/0.83 where fbk is cubic concrete strength and fck is cylindrical strength.
C25 concrete is a concrete having compressive strength of 25MPa when tested at the 28th day after casting. The specimen can be cube(150x150x150) or cylindrical(125mm by 250mm high). The cube strength has 0.8 times that of cylindrical specimen due to shape factor.
The number relates to the compressive strength of a cube of concrete when tested (i.e. 30 N/mm2 or 40N/mm2) The higher the number the greater the strength of the concrete. The choice of concrete grade is usually made at the design stage for the strucutre and effects the overall strength and resistance of the strucutre to decay. You would use a higher strength concrete in a more exposed environment. It is important to use the concrete grade specified for the proposed strucutre.
around 22.. the basic rule is around 70% of target mean strength..

Cylindrical strength = 85% of Cube strength.

The equivalent concrete for M-30 cylinder strength is M-40 cube strength

Reasons for concrete cube to have greater compressive strength as compared to cylinder iscontact area of a standard cube mould with the upper platen in the testing machine is more which results in more confinement .more confinement resist against specimen expansion resulting in more compressive strength
The difference in compressive strength is due to the difference between the modulus of elasticity of concrete and that of the steel which is used to apply the compressive force on the concrete. The pressure applies a lateral confinement pressure which is equal to d/3 meaning that for the cylinder, 2d/3 is confined leaving d/3 unconfined whereas for the cylinder 2d/3 is confined means all of the cube is confined. This leads to the cube having a higher compressive strength that the cylinder. For more information, try to read about the triaxial test and the effect of confinement on the compressive strength of soil samples.
cylinder
The concrete that gives a compressive strength of 40 N/mm2 when its cube is tested.
The standard for concrete cube testing is to put the cube under increased pressure. The pressure is increased until the cube breaks and determines the cubes compression strength.
Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value. For normal concrete strength application, say below 50MPa, the stress produced by a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is sufficient for the machine to crush the concrete sample. However, if the designed concrete strength is 100MPa, under the same force (about 2,000kN) supplied by the machine, the stress under a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is not sufficient to crush the concrete cube. Therefore, 100mmx100mmx100mm concrete cubes are used instead to increase the applied stress to crush the concrete cubes. For normal concrete strength, the cube size of 150mmx150mmx150mm is already sufficient for the crushing strength of the machine.
