Analysis of Compressive Strength of Concrete Cubes Made from Different Sources of Water

The current study was carried out to find the effect of different sources of water on compressive strength of concrete cubes. The concrete mix with M20 grade and water to cement (W/C) ratio of 0.5 were used for this current study. Water samples like well water, waste water, tap water, Tube well water and packed drinking water were collected from various sources at Pimpri area and were used for casting of 150 × 150 × 150 mm concrete cube sizes. The curing was done for 28 days. The cubes were crushed for determining compressive strength after 7 and 28 days. The results obtained showed that the concrete cubes -compressive strengths of made with well water, tap water, mineral water and waste water with increasing days were increased and too much variation in their compressive strength was not found.
