Abstract


Concrete slump value and compressive strength are two crucial properties that play a significant role in the construction sector. The slump value determines the workability and consistency of the concrete mix, while the compressive strength indicates the concrete's ability to withstand loads before failure. In this review, we have chosen the Bariura and Bariura West extension as a feature of the SASEC Dhaka Sylhet hallway street speculation project. The bridges are supported by a total of 100 piles and each pile measures 24 meters in length and 1.2 meters in diameter. This study investigates the relationship between the concrete slump value and compressive strength of the piles on 7th ,14th & 28th day. By analyzing the data collected from the piles, we have developed three linear equations that can accurately predict the concrete's 7th ,14th & 28th -day strength based on its slump value. The strength difference varies between 0 to 5% of the concrete's actual strength.
