Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Philadelphia, PA

ASTM and ACI have strict regulations for how concrete samples are taken and stored in a concrete curing box. To make sure you are following regulations, you must take the following steps:

  • The procedure must be carried out by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician.
  • The concrete cylinder must be representative of the concrete poured on-site, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load.
  • The technician must make not of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete.
  • The worker 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.

After the slump and air tests, you must carry out both in-field and laboratory tests in Philadelphia, PA to take a reading of the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site 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.
  • Laboratory Test: In a lab, the concrete will be placed in a device that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the specimen until it cracks or breaks.
