Compressive Strength of Concrete Cylinders by Different .
were described as pattern type 1, 2 and 3 with neoprene pads and end grinding with neoprene pads. Type 2 and 3 break patterns where observed with sulphur preparation and end grinding with bearing plates during testing. Table 2. Effects on the mean compressive strength and the type of break observed Effects on the Coefficient of Variation (COV)
