    7 days concrete strength

    msesi, I would agree with Ron above, the 75-85% strength at seven day is a specification for stripping forms, and preloading (IBC). second - the average f'c is calculated with three samples broke at 28 day with no single break falling below design by more than 500 psi, ASTM C 39, ACI 318. The...

    successfully testing pervious concrete

    Has any one used ASTM C 1688 for testing pervious concrete? what are your thoughts about perviouse concrete? Has ASTM / ACI helped anyone with pervious concerte? I am getting my information to gather before taking all of my informastion to the ASTM C.09 Committee. Thank you in advance.

    My 28 day compressive breaks are lower than the 7 day breaks

    I want to thank all of you for your input on this problem. I have used your imput and forwarded it on to the QA Manager for his report. Thank you again for your assistance.

    My 28 day compressive breaks are lower than the 7 day breaks

    I am testing Portland cement. The specimen is representative of the placement, fine sand grout with no aggregate in the mix design.

    My 28 day compressive breaks are lower than the 7 day breaks

    The cube is cast with 2000 psi grout, area is 3.97 sqI, and it is loaded between the 2" riser and head @ a rate of 300 lb per minute. the 7 day results are 27560 load, 6940 psi. The 28 day results are, 22965 load, 5780 and 27695 load, 6980

    My 28 day compressive breaks are lower than the 7 day breaks

    With a 2" x 2" cube and design strength of 2000 psi @ 28 day. The results for the 7 day comressive strength is higher. I have reviewed the test methodes and innitial curing procedures. I cannot find the reason for these results can some one assist, explane the reason or direct me to the answer.
