We have taken cores and are using an expert in this field, He has not commented yet. I think ACI's take is if the compression strength is as spec. then how the cylinder breaks is really not relative, I could be wrong. Do the breaks set the stage of good or bad concrete? Can you have good...
If you have the compression strength of 4000 psi or greater in your cylinder test breaks.
What are the long-term effects with not having any aggregate fractures (bond failure); cylinders with lateral and Hort. shears and no concrete stink to the rebar (rebar can be washed clean with minimum to...
