To ensure compliance, you must follow a certain procedure: 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 take a precise reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. You must conduct a slump test and an air test. The samples must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and cannot exceed 80°F or go below 60°F. Once you have a concrete cylinder, you must keep it well-preserved in a concrete curing box until you can conduct in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Phoenix, AZ 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: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the sample can hold up against.
