To ensure compliance, you must take the following steps: The concrete must be made, cured, and tested by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician. The concrete cylinder must be a "representative sample," made up of at least two samples. The technician must take an accurate reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. The worker must perform a slump test and an air test. The specimens must be stored in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F. After the slump and air tests, you must perform both on-site and laboratory tests in Austin, TX to test the concrete's compressive strength: In-Field Test: A small device, known as a Schmidt hammer, measures the rebound of a spring-loaded mass that is shot against the surface of the concrete. Laboratory Test: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the concrete can withstand.
