The Civil Engineering Concrete Lab at the University of the West Indies Mona Campus has prepared
its facilities for carrying out concrete compressive strength test on hollow concrete blocks, concrete cylinders
and cubes.

The Lab will only focus its attention on compressive strength test at this time for concrete samples.

Please feel free to contact Mr Dennis Douglas or the Civil Engineering Faculty office whenever you need these
services.

Shrinkage cracks in concrete occur due to change in moisture of concrete. Concrete and mortar are porous in their structure in the form of inter-molecular space. They expand when they absorb the moisture and shrink when they dry. This is the main cause of concrete shrinkage cracks on drying. Shrinka...
