Abstract:
A round-robin of accelerated strength testing of concrete was conducted using ASTM C 684 Procedure B and the K-5 method, and the data were related to that obtained from the standard compressive 28-day method. Comparison of the results showed that both methods gave similar values, and the results related well to those obtained from the standard 28-day compressive method.
