 Strength tests as well as slump, temperature, density and air content tests
SAES-Q-001 sec.
(when required by the specifications) shall be made with a frequency of
5, 09-SAMSS-
A7 not less than one test for each 115 m³. Each test shall be made from a
097

Sec. 17.5
test shall be made for each class of concrete.

Slump, air content, density and temperature tests shall be made at the
time of placement at the option of the inspector as often as necessary for
control checks.
SAES-Q-001 sec.
5. 09-
A8 Note: It is not the intention to give the inspector to right to require testing
SAMSS-097
for every truckload. Rather, additional testing shall be requested only if
there are indications that a concrete load was tempered (water was added
while concrete was in transit, or when there are indications that the mix is
exhibiting rapid drying).

The minimum required number of concrete test cylinders for strength tests
in accordance with ASTM C39/C39M shall be:
a) Test one set of laboratory-cured 09-SAMSS-097
A9
specimens at 7 days and one set of specimens at 28 days. Sec. 18.2
b) Test one set of field-cured specimens at 7 days and one set of
specimens at 28 days.
