Concrete is the product most used in small and large buildings and the choice for the type of cement used varies between cost and quality, always meeting the specifications required by the standards. The objective of this work is to compare the results of the mechanical behavior between two brands of cement of the city of Manaus denominated for this research of CP I-T1 and CP I-T2, the choice for the model CP IS-40 is given by the practicality when working with a material of general use when no special properties are required, ie a product that can be applied in different stages of the work. In order to do this, a large number of tests were carried out on both the aggregate and the aggregate, so that it was possible to adopt a trace of concrete with a strict quality control in both brands, tests such as water absorption and resistance to axial compression were performed following a schedule of 07, 28 and 63 days after wet curing of the specimens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
