The units of Mpa is N/mm2 so this means that the concrete can resist a compresion forse of 50 newtons spread over 1 mm2
*Note if this value is a measured value a safety factor needs to be applied if it is to be used in construction, this factor are specified in you country's design code
40 MPa
450 MPa
The yield strength in this case is equal to the ultimate tensile strength, which is about 0.9-3 MPa without any reinforcement.
1 MPa = 145.038 PSI.
Concrete strengths are customarily denominated in psi(pounds per square inch) in the imperial system and in MPa's(megapascals) in metric. These are units of pressure.
the strength of concrete
40 MPa
Bagged Premixed Concrete will achieve an mpa strength of around 20 mpa and is usually expected to reach this at 28 days. The "Rapid Set" Premix Bagged products are only good for about for about 5 mpa. .
They're talking about compressive strength - the amount of force that can be applied to a defined area of the concrete before it fails. 25 MPa concrete in the states would be 3625 psi concrete - very ordinary stuff; the kind in bags at Home Depot is stronger than that.
Concrete with compressive strength more than 55 MPa is known as high strength concrete.It is used in the construction of bridges, dams. etc.,High strength concrete is produced by adding normal constituents of concrete with admixtures.
450 MPa
The yield strength in this case is equal to the ultimate tensile strength, which is about 0.9-3 MPa without any reinforcement.
The two basic grades of concrete commonly used for paths and driveways are standard concrete (often referred to as "normal strength concrete") and high-strength concrete. Standard concrete typically has a compressive strength of around 20-25 MPa (megapascals) and is suitable for light to moderate traffic. High-strength concrete, with a compressive strength of 30 MPa or higher, is recommended for areas that experience heavier loads or more intense wear and tear. Selecting the appropriate grade depends on the anticipated load and usage of the surface.
1 psi = 0.00689475728 MPaAs such the average strength in PSI = (4620 + 4580 + 4400 + 4460 + 4200) / 5= 4452 psiAverage strength in MPa = 4452 x 0.00689475728= 30.69545941056 MPa= 30.7 MPa
M20 give you strength of 20Mpa and M25 give you strength of 25 Mpa after 28 days of curing.
