Abstract:
At various stages of curing, strengths obtained from a 4 i n . diameter concrete cylinder are compared to those obtained from a 6 in. diameter cylinder. It was concluded that for commonly used concrete, 4-in. cylinders can be used instead of 6-in. cylinders because the difference in their strengths at any state of curing is insignificant.
