Scenario
You are working as a Senior Laboratory Technician at Sure Betul Laboratory Sdn.Bhd.
You have been assigned to conduct laboratory experimentations for concrete. The
material need to be tested before it can be used for construction. From the
experimentation, you have to prepare a laboratory report based on the results obtained
from the experiments for your client record.

Objective:
1) Testing machine
2) Concrete cube (from previous concrete mix design)
Procedures:
1) Place the specimen (concrete cube from previous concrete mix design) in
the machine and slowly bring the blocks to bear on the specimen.
2) Operate the machine at a constant rate within the range 0.140 to 0.35
MPa per second.
3) Record the data when failure occurs.
Attach assignment brief with the complete report. The structural/ format of the
report should include the followings items:
