    The document describes procedures for testing the strength of concrete cylinders. It details three types of tests: 1) compression tests without strain measurements, recording failure load and stress, 2) Schmidt hammer tests to estimate compressive strength, and 3) compression tests with strain measurements that record load, deformation, stress, and strain levels throughout loading.
