Advantages to Concrete Curing Testing in Seattle, WA

Based on a guidelines set out by ACI Committee 308, curing refers to "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time."

  • Won't develop cracks, also referred to as crazing
  • Has the required strength
  • Has the needed water tightness
  • Is not susceptible to wearing down
  • Is impervious to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is impervious to freezing and thawing

In order to properly verify the above and have accurate tests, you You need to know the precisely the conditions the samples were stored at. That's why every Darwin Chambers portable concrete curing box has a control resolution of 1°F. Other features are:

How to Take Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Seattle, WA

ASTM and ACI have stringent standards for how to make samples and what humidity and temperature to store them at. To make sure you are obeying guidelines, 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 characteristic of the concrete put in the slab, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load.
  • The technician must take an accurate reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample.
  • You must run a slump test and an air test.
  • The samples must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and never go below 60°F or above 80°F.

After the slump and air tests, you must perform both on-site and laboratory tests in Seattle, WA to take a reading of the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site 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 cylinder can withstand.
