CONCRETE
7 Days Cubes * 3 Cubes Compression Test
28 Days Cubes * 2 Cubes Compression Test

Note:
One test per load of concrete delivered to the site, or one test per 10m3 whichever is the lesser for the first 50m3 of
concrete then at a rate of 1 slump test for the first 50m3 if concrete was consistent during production.

Samples shall be taken at the average rate of one sample every 30m3 of concrete or fractions thereof for the first
90m3, then one sample every 100m3 of concrete or fraction thereof when continuous concrete production reaches
up to 2000m3 and later of one sample every 200m3 of concrete or fraction thereof when concrete production
exceeds 2000m3. (AS PER QCS 2010, SECTION 5)
