BS 1881-208:1996 is a British Standard that specifies a method for determining the compressive strength of concrete specimens. The full title of the standard is "Testing concrete - Recommendations for the determination of the compressive strength of concrete specimens." It provides guidelines and procedures for conducting tests to determine the compressive strength of concrete.
The standard outlines the equipment required, such as a compression testing machine, and the preparation and curing of concrete specimens. It specifies the size and shape of the specimens, the number of specimens to be tested, and the testing procedure itself.
BS 1881-208:1996 describes the loading rate for applying compressive force to the concrete specimens and provides guidelines for recording and reporting the results. It also includes information on the factors that can affect the test results, such as specimen preparation, curing conditions, and the age of the specimens.
Please note that the information provided here is based on the knowledge cutoff of September 2021, and there may have been updates or revisions to the standard since then. It's always advisable to refer to the latest version of the standard or consult relevant authorities for the most up-to-date information.
