Strength measurements

April 27, 2010

Construction schedules, material costs and safety rely heavily on early-age concrete cylinder break information – but is it accurate?

Even when field-cured, the relatively small size of test specimens often results in different temperature histories, and therefore very strengths, when compared to their corresponding placements. When cylinders underestimate the placement strength, opportunities to build faster and reduce material cost are lost. When cylinders overestimate the actual placement, safety is a vital concern.
