Multiple Truck Concrete Test.
Multiple Truck Concrete Test.
(OP)
Hey. I have a few big jobs coming up and I would like to know how many trucks I should run a concrete test (slump, air, cylinders) out of say 10 trucks. The client of course wants to save as much money as he can but I want to make sure the number of cylinders I cast is representative of what was poured. I know there's no real need to test EVEY truck.
