Each building and structure have its durability and strength requirements, which are fulfilled by the proper concrete mixtures. One of the most common and useful performance-related attributes of concrete is its compressive strength. The concrete compression test for determining the compressive strength of concrete may be carried out using cubes and cylinders, where known and pre-measured force is applied. Some of the important considerations to be followed while carrying out a concrete compression test are outlined below.

Adhesion testing is performed to determine the qualitative value of a bond between a substrate and its coating. A Pull-off Adhesion tester is a commonly used practice to test the cohesiveness of the two. It also helps determine the failure-point of its adhesive quality if the coating manages to peel off or break in the process. 

A Soil Inclinometer is an instrument used to measure a heave or settlement of soil. These instruments are used to determine the soil's slope concerning forces of gravity acting upon it. They also help detect any subsurface movement to predict any drastic changes in soil structure.

In construction, a concrete compression test is performed to determine the compressive strength of a concrete slab. This implies the concrete body's ability to withstand compression without cracking or causing fractures on its surface or in its core. A push force is applied from both sides to assess its strength and ability to withstand the amount of compression without failing.

A CBR test or the California Bearing Ratio test is a form of penetration assessment to gauge the subgrade levels of roads and pavements. These kinds of structures, strength is crucial, and the CBR test helps to maintain them to avoid casualties. The strength of the structure is measured by evaluating the pressure required to infiltrate a piece of the soil with a standardized plunger. The readings are used to detect any drawbacks in the soil structure and appropriately rectify the problem.
