To ensure you are following regulations, you must take the following steps: The procedure must be conducted 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 concrete. You must run a slump test and an air test. The samples 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 conduct both in-field and laboratory tests in Portland, OR to take a reading of the concrete's compressive strength: In-Field 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 machine that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the sample until it cracks or breaks.
