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 characteristic of the concrete poured on-site, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load. The technician must record the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. The worker must perform a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be placed in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F. Once you have a concrete sample, you must maintain it in a concrete curing box until you can perform both on-site and laboratory tests in Washington, DC 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 hold up against.
