2、on,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of strength ofcylindrical concrete specimens that have been mold
3、ed in placeusing special molds attached to formwork.This test method islimited to use in slabs where the depth of concrete is from 125to 300 mm 5 to 12 in.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may n

11、 ofconcrete in the structure due to the similarity of curingconditions because the cylinder is cured within the slab.However,due to differences in moisture condition,degree ofconsolidation,specimen size,and length-diameter ratio,thereis not a unique relationship between the strength of cast-in-place
12、 cylinders and cores of the same age.When cores can bedrilled undamaged and tested in the same moisture condition asthe cast-in-place cylinders,the strength of the cylinders can beexpected to be on average 10%higher than the cores at agesup to 91 days for specimens of the same size and length-diamet
