Imorder to evaluate the suitability of non-potable water available at the job site for ‘mixing conerete, seven standard mortar cubes were made using that waier and six others using potable water. The cubes were tested for compressive strength after 7 days of curing and produced the following loads to failure, ‘Cubes made wih non-potable water Based on these result only, would you accept that water for mixing concrete?” Why?
