1:1:2.make 3 cubes in same ratio and leave 1 day for setting
after 1 day put on curing.if you need 7 days strength after
7 days test the specimen by using comp machine.in 7 days
specimen attain 65% of the target mean strength.in 28 days
specimen attain 90% of the target mean strength.the unit is
commonly used N/mm^2
1N = 1000 kN
