Key Points

This research investigates how different specimen shapes affect the compressive strength of concrete at varying width-to-height ratios.
Experimental study comparing prismatic and cylindrical concrete specimens.
Utilized curing conditions, including standard and field curing in winter and standard environments.
Examined width-to-height ratios of 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0.
Both specimen types showed similar compressive strengths, with differences within an average of 5%.
Cylindrical specimens demonstrated slightly higher compressive strength than prismatic specimens, regardless of width-to-height ratio.

Implication

Experimental study analyzes concrete strength variations by shape and dimensions, highlighting practical quality implications.
