To ensure compliance, 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 representative of the concrete put in the slab, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load. The technician must note a precise reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample. You must conduct a slump test and an air test. The specimens must be placed in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times. In addition to the slump and air tests, you must perform both on-site and laboratory tests in Rochester, NY 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 machine that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the concrete until it cracks or breaks.
