The success of your project will partially be dependent on how the concrete cures and your ability to accurately test it. By keeping your samples in a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Detroit, MI, you can test to demonstrate that your concrete: Won't develop cracks, technically known as crazing Has the correct strength Has the correct water tightness Is impervious to wearing down Is impervious to shrinkage, which causes cracks Is impervious to freezing and thawing In order to properly verify the above and have accurate tests, you You need to know the precisely the temperature and humidity the specimens were stored at.

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 specimen. The technician must conduct a slump test and an air test. The specimens must be placed in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F. In addition to the slump and air tests, you must perform both in-field and laboratory tests in Detroit, MI to test the concrete's compressive strength: On-site Test: A small device, known as a Schmidt hammer, fires a spring-loaded mass with a defined energy against the surface and reads how elastic or strong the concrete is. Laboratory Test: In a lab, the concrete will be placed in a device that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the cylinder until it cracks or breaks.
