Six specimens will be broken from each batch of concrete tested (3 at 7 days and 3 at 28 days), and their average strength represents the strength of the batch. Compressive test may be conducted at the Contracting Officer's discretion. All workmanship, placement and curing shall be in accordance with the applicable sections of ACI 318.
