Advantages to Concrete Curing Testing in Cincinnati, OH

Based on a guidelines set out by ACI Committee 308, curing is "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time." How the concrete cures and the accuracy of the tests will go a long way in the success of your project. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Cincinnati, OH, you can test to demonstrate that your concrete:

  • Won't develop fissures, also known as crazing
  • Has the required durability
  • Has the correct water tightness
  • Is resistant to abrasion
  • Is resistant to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is impervious to freezing and thawing

In order to properly verify the above and have accurate readings, you You need to know the precisely the conditions the specimens were stored at. For that reason, we design and manufacture every concrete curing box to have a control resolution of 1°F. Other features include:

  • On job site protected storage of concrete test specimens and reliable heating
  • Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy transport
  • Exterior controls and readings so the box can remain closed
  • No overheating
  • Digital temperature controller

How to Take Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Cincinnati, OH

ASTM and ACI have strict regulations for how concrete samples are taken and stored in a concrete curing box. To ensure you are complying with regulations, 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 record the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete.
  • The worker must run a slump test and an air test.
  • The samples must be kept in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F.

Once you have a concrete sample, you must maintain it in a concrete curing box until you can perform in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Cincinnati, OH to test the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site Test: A Schmidt hammer fires a spring-loaded mass at the concrete in order to measure the value of the rebound.
  • 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.
