The acceptance criteria for quality of Plain and Reinforced Cement Concrete is
laid down in IS: 456-2000.

Concrete Cube is normally tested on 7 and 28 day of concreting until any special
requirement for early test. A set of 6 cube moulds are casted with 3 cube moulds on 7th day
and another 3 cube moulds on 28th day.

The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete of each grade shall be in accordance with
IS:456-2000 with the following :

NOTE – Atleast one sample shall be taken from each shift. Where concrete is produced at
continuous production unit, such as ready-mixed concrete plant, frequency of sampling
may be agreed upon mutually by suppliers and purchasers.

There are different size of concrete cube moulds as , 50,100,150,225 and 300 mm.

Usually at site we use 150 mm size cube.

Volume of a Cube Mould = 150mm x 150mm x150 mm


= 0.15m x 0.15m x 0.15 m

= 0.003375 Cum.

The number of cubes can be casted in ONE Cum of Concrete .

= 1 / 0.003375

= 296.296

= 296 Cubes

One Set contains 6 Cube, therefore

= 296/6

= 49.33

So, Number of Concrete cubes Sets per Cum = 49 Cubes (Approx. )

NOTE – 49 Cube Sets can be casted without considering any wastage factor.

A concrete cube is of the size 150mm and thus it's volume will be 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.15 =
0.003375 Cubic meter

So theoretically, One Cubic metre of concrete should be able to cast (1/0.003375)= 296.29
cubes considering no concrete is wasted during handling of the same.

As a rule of thumb, if a wastage of 10% is considered, the number of cubes that can be cast
with one cubic metre of concrete will be 296.29/1.10 = 269.35 cubes, say approximately 270
cubes.

This 269 cubes translates to 270/3 = 90 sets of concrete cubes.

Hi…

As per IS 456 code,

Freqvency of sampling

Minimum samples of cube per m3 concrete quantity…..

For 1–5 m3 concrete - 1sample - 3cubes

For 6-15 m3 concrete - 2sample - 6cubes

For 16–30m3 concrete - 3sample - 9cubes

For 31–50m3 concrete - 4sample - 12cubes

For greater than51 m3 concrete - (4+1)sample - i.e. for every 50m3 - 1 sample additional

Refferance IS456:2000 clause 15.2 page 29

Hope… This ans. helpful to you..

Updated Jan 6

According to above image or according to is 456:2000 28days cube strength

And

In 1 sample there are 3 number of cube taken for testing of finding out compressive
strength.

And in extra

Additional 1 sample is taken of 7days cube strength.

Total sample:-

28days number samples according to volume of concrete + additional 1 sample


of 7days

Standard size of concrete cube is 15cmx15cmx15cm

number of cubes in per M3 of concrete = 1/(0.15*0.15*0.15) = 296Nos..

So in M3 of concrete You can make 296 nos of concrete Cubes..

Hope this helps

Thanks for A2A…
