Each hollow-core slab manufacturer provided a total of twelve 4 × 8 in. (100 × 200 mm) concrete cylinders that were fabricated using the same batch of concrete as the bottom blocks. Com-
228.1R-03 In-Place Methods to Estimate Concrete Strength
dl.mycivil.irthe concrete in the structure. Measured strengths of field-cured cylinders may be significantly different from in-place strengths because it is difficult, and often impossible, to have identical bleeding, consolidation, and curing conditions for concrete in cylinders and concrete in structures (Soutsos et al. 2000).

www.ce.memphis.educylinders This slide shows the benefits of confinement on concrete behavior. Presented are stress-strain diagrams for confined concrete in compression. The specimens were 6 in. by 12 in. cylinders. Confinement was provided by spiral reinforcement. Reducing spiral pitch (or hoop spacing) increases maximum concrete stress and strain capacity ...

www.concrete.orgConcrete durability is defined as the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack, abrasion, or any ... If the cylinders are allowed to dry at early ages, strengths will be reduced even further (Cebeci 1987). Therefore, proper curing of the test specimens during hot weather is critical, and steps should be
