After the slump and air tests, you must carry out in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Columbus, OH to take a reading of 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.
