Abstract:
Presents an easy method to remove a concrete specimen from a plastic cylinder mold without damage to the mold or to the concrete specimen. The mold is ready to reuse with only minor preparation. Many reuses of the "single-use mold" are possible. Compared with using steel molds or one-use molds, this reuse method yields significant savings in preparation time, storage space, and environmental impact.
