Field-cured test cylinders should be cured in the same manner as the concrete they represent. The temperature-time history of the test cylinders should match the in-place concrete curing conditions. In this case, the field-cured test cylinders overestimated the in-place concrete strength because they were sitting adjacent to a jobsite heater..

How to Estimate In-place Strength of Concrete

Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic.
