2. Predicting the strength of concrete in the structure
2.1 Different methods
Good management of operations such as stripping concrete formwork, tensioning prestressing cables and handling precast elements (to name but a few examples), requires reliable measurement of the strength of the concrete in the structure.
SCROLL TO TOPThe most commonly used method for assessing the early-age strength of concrete in the structure is to produce information specimens, stored close to the structure, and test them for compressive failure....
