Benefits of Concrete Curing Testing in Detroit, MI

Based on a a definition offered by ACI Committee 308, curing refers to "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time." How the concrete cures and the accuracy of the tests is vital to the success of your project. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Detroit, MI, you can test to verify that your concrete:

  • Won't degrade and have fissures, technically called crazing
  • Has the correct durability
  • Has the required water tightness
  • Is not susceptible to erosion
  • Is not susceptible to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is impervious to freezing and thawing

While the workers who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Detroit, MI lab the test is sent to will be accountable for a substantial part of the accuracy of the testing, their work will mean nothing if the reliability of the sample is endangered because of a poor concrete curing box.

Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Detroit, MI

ASTM and ACI have stringent standards for how to produce samples and what conditions to store them under. To make sure 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 the same concrete as it was poured.
  • The technician must make not of the temperature of the ambient air and the specimen.
  • You must perform a slump test and an air test.
  • The samples must be kept in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times.

After the slump and air tests, you must conduct both on-site and laboratory tests in Detroit, MI to measure the concrete's compressive strength:

  • In-Field Test: A Schmidt hammer fires a spring-loaded mass at the concrete in order to measure the value of the rebound.
  • Laboratory Test: In a lab, the concrete will be placed in a machine that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the sample until it cracks or breaks.
