The concrete cylinder must be characteristic of the concrete put in the slab, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load. The technician must record the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. You must conduct a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and never go below 60°F or above 80°F.
