To ensure compliance, you must follow a certain procedure: The procedure must be conducted by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician. The concrete cylinder must be representative 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 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 Montreal, QC to test 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: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the specimen can withstand.
