NOTE : These samples is an actual sample of articulated Concrete Blocks and does not undergone proper curing.
Based on our assesment, the reasons why the samples failed to met the required strength were:
1. Proportion of Materials (Fine & Coarse Aggregates, cement & water)
2. Not Properly cured
3. Disturbed samples due to Travel
