2.4.1. Compressive Strength of Cubic Specimens
- (1)
- When the specimen reaches the test age, it should be taken out from the curing location, and its dimensions and shape should be checked. The dimensional tolerance should not exceed 1 mm. The specimen should be tested as soon as possible after being taken out.
- (2)
- Before placing the specimen in the testing machine, wipe the surface of the specimen clean with the upper and lower compression plates.
- (3)
- The side surface of the specimen formed during molding should be the compression surface. Place the specimen on the lower compression plate or cushion plate of the testing machine, and align the center of the specimen with the center of the lower compression plate of the testing machine, as shown in Figure 8.
- (4)
- Start the testing machine, ensuring that the surface of the specimen is in uniform contact with the upper and lower compression plates or steel cushion plates.
- (5)
- During the experiment, load should be continuously and uniformly applied, with a loading speed of 0.3–0.5 MPa/s. When the compressive strength of the cubic specimen is less than 30 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.3–0.5 MPa/s. When the compressive strength of the cubic specimen is 30–60 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.5–0.8 MPa/s. When the compressive strength of the cubic specimen is not less than 60 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.8–1.0 MPa/s. The faster the test speed, the lower the material’s strength results may become because rapid application of pressure can lead to faster deformation and damage within the material. On the contrary, slower test speeds may result in higher strength results because the material has more time during the test process to adapt to the pressure and demonstrate its true strength. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate test speed based on specific circumstances when conducting pressure tests to ensure reliable results. This is because under high-speed loading conditions, the internal microstructure of the test specimen may not be able to adapt to the external pressure applied in a timely manner, leading to instantaneous changes or damage in internal microlevel or grain structures, thereby affecting the determination of compressive strength results. Additionally, the deformation rate effect in the test specimen may be induced by high-speed loading, where deformation and stress concentration occurring in a short period of time may lead to faster crack propagation and material damage, resulting in lower measured compressive strength values. Furthermore, the dynamic response of the specimen to the test speed can also have an impact, as rapid loading may induce dynamic effects within the specimen, such as strain rate effects and impact loading effects, which may cause non-linear changes in the stress–strain response of the specimen, thereby affecting the accuracy of strength test results [39].
- (6)
- When manually controlling the loading speed of the pressure machine, when the specimen is close to the point of drastic deformation at the beginning of failure, stop adjusting the throttle of the testing machine until failure occurs, and record the failure load. The compressive strength of concrete cubic specimens is calculated according to Formula (1) [38].
- —compressive strength, MPa.
- —failure load, N.
- —area under compression, mm2.
2.4.2. Compressive Strength of Cubic Specimens
- (1)
- When the specimen reaches the test age, it should be removed from the curing location, inspecting its dimensions and shape. The dimensional tolerance should not exceed 1 mm, and the test should be conducted as soon as possible after the specimen is removed.
- (2)
- When determining the concrete elastic modulus, the microdeformation measurement instrument should be installed on the midline of the specimen on both sides and symmetrically at the two ends of the specimen. When using dial indicators or displacement sensors, the dial indicators or displacement sensors should be fixed on the deformation measurement frame, and the measuring distance of the specimen should be 150 mm, positioned by the locating rod. The deformation measurement frame should be secured with fastening screws. When using strain gauges to measure deformation, the gauge length of the strain gauges should be 150 mm. After removing the specimen from the curing chamber, any surface defects in the area where the strain gauges are applied should be treated using a hairdryer to dry the surface of the specimen and attaching the strain gauges with 502 glue in the middle of the specimen on both sides.
- (3)
- Before placing the specimen on the testing machine, the surface of the specimen should be wiped clean with the upper and lower pressure plates.
- (4)
- The specimen should be placed upright on the lower pressure plate or steel cushion plate of the testing machine, aligning the center of the specimen with the center of the lower pressure plate.
- (5)
- The test machine should be started ensuring that the surface of the specimen is evenly in contact with the upper and lower pressure plates or steel cushion plates.
- (6)
- The initial load value should be increased to a basic stress value of 0.5 MPa, maintaining the load for 60 s and recording the deformation readings of each measurement point within the next 30 s. The load should then be continuously and uniformly increased to one-third of the compressive strength of the specimen’s axial stress, maintaining the load for 60 s and recording the deformation readings of each measurement point within the next 30 s. Loading should be continuously and evenly applied during the experiment, with a loading speed of 0.3–1.0 MPa/s. When the cube compressive strength is less than 30 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.3–0.5 MPa/s. When the compressive strength is 30–60 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.5–0.8 MPa/s, and when the compressive strength is not less than 60 MPa, the loading speed should be 0.8–1.0 MPa/s.
- (7)
- If the difference between the deformation values on the left and right sides ratio and their average value is greater than 20%, the specimen should be realigned and the provisions of step (6) repeated. If it cannot be reduced to less than 20%, the test is invalid.
- (8)
- After confirming that the specimen is re-aligned in accordance with the 8th paragraph of this article, the load should be unloaded to the basic stress of 0.5 MPa at the same speed, maintaining it for 60 s. The same loading and unloading speed, and maintaining the load for 60 s, should be repeated at least twice for repeated preloading. After the final preloading is complete, the load should be maintained at 0.5 MPa for 60 s and the deformation readings recorded for each measurement point within the next 30 s. Then, the load should be applied at the same loading speed and maintained for 60 s, recording the deformation readings for each measurement point within the next 30 s.
- (9)
- Remove the deformation measurement instrument and apply the same speed loading until failure, recording the failure load.
- (10)
- Calculate the concrete static compression elastic modulus according to Formulas (2) and (3) [38].
- —elastic modulus, MPa.
- —load when the stress is 1/3, N.
- —load at stress is 0.5 MPa, N.
- —test piece pressure area, mm2.
- —measure the distance, 150 mm.
- —the average value of the deformation of the specimen from the last load to, mm.
- —the average value of the deformation on both sides of the specimen, mm.
- —the average value of the deformation on both sides of the specimen, mm.

4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The addition of carbon black and rubber powder can increase the compressive strength of epoxy concrete cubes while lowering the elastic modulus, enhancing the toughness of bridge deck paving repair materials. Specifically, the compressive strength of epoxy concrete cubes after 2 h increased by 20.0%, while the elastic modulus decreased by 25.0% with the addition of carbon black and rubber powder.
- (2)
- Adding carbon black can enhance the UV aging resistance of epoxy concrete, thereby potentially increasing the service life of bridge deck paving repair materials. Under UV aging conditions, the addition of carbon black and rubber powder in epoxy concrete cubes increased the compressive strength by 28.6%. Compared to similar epoxy concrete under standard conditions, the decrease in compressive strength of the cubes under UV aging conditions decreased from 78.8% to 76.9%.
- (3)
- The addition of asphalt particles helps improve the thermal sensitivity of epoxy concrete, ensuring better stress coordination between repair materials and original paving materials under different temperatures. When temperatures range from −10 °C to room temperature, the compressive strength and the elastic modulus of the 3-day cube specimens are similar to those at room temperature. However, when the temperature exceeds 40 °C, the cube compressive strength decreased by 58.8% and the elastic modulus decreased by over 52.3%.
- (4)
- Epoxy concrete materials with the addition of carbon black, rubber powder, and rubber particles can cure within two hours, with a compressive strength exceeding 10 MPa, and reach a 3-day cube compressive strength of over 30 MPa. The strength is stable, meeting the early strength requirements for rapid repair materials of bridge deck paving.
