Is there a Minimum concrete volume for testing?
Is there a Minimum concrete volume for testing?
(OP)
The contractor ran into a slight problem and will not be able to pour the walls. He is only pouring one column with 2.8 cu.m of concrete. Does this require a test or is it below the minimum concrete volume required for a test... if there is any.

The ACI notes that there is no need for a test if the total amount of a specified mix design is less then 50 yards given the concrete comes from a reputable cement factory. This does not apply to my job.

And where is it written that just because a form is built it has to be filled with concrete that instant? Why can't that little column wait until the next day when the wall is ready and pour everything together?

Is the project located in a jurisdiction where ACI 318 is part of the building code referenced standards?
