Laboratory trial and/or ready mixes shall be tested for durability at an age of 28 days after
casting. Samples shall consist of three 200 mm x 200 mm x 120 mm blocks (for water
penetration testing) and four 150 mm cubes (for rapid chloride permeability testing (RCPT)).

Curing of samples shall be as near to the future site practice as possible.
Concrete temperature, when discharged in the formwork, shall not be more than 32°C. For
thick elements temperature shall not be more than 25°C. Thick elements shall be defined as
any concrete member that has both plan and cross-sectional dimensions exceeding one meter.

During the trial mix design period both cube and cylinder compression tests to BS 1881: Part
108 and ASTM C39 / C39M, respectively, shall be taken. The Concrete Mix
SUBCONTRACTOR shall determine the numerical relationship between cube and cylinder
strengths.
The test limits of this specification shall also apply to production concrete. For production
concrete testing frequencies are every three month as per ASTM C94. But Compression
Strength test (7days and 28days) shall be conducted every 50 cubic meter of concrete and
Slump test shall be carried out every delivered truck.
