Abstract:
This month’s Q&A focuses on issues related to meeting in-place concrete strength requirements for removing forms for reinforced concrete slabs. It explains how the contractor might accelerate the construction schedule by implementing concrete mixtures with compressive strengths exceeding those specified for the project.
