representative samples of fresh concrete as
delivered to the project site on which tests are to be

requirements of the specifications under which the
concrete is furnished (Note 1).

– Density (Unit weight)
– Theoretical density
– Yield
– Relative yield
• Relative yield is the ratio of the actual volume of concrete
obtained to the volume as designed for the batch
Air Content (C231) or (C173)
• Measure of concrete
