ABSTRACT

The chosen values of these parameters should be similar to those used in practice. Examples of typical values for some different countries are given in the Appendix (Table 1).

4.4 Other parameters that characterise the concrete such as water/cement ratio, compaction, maturity or curing regime may be given any practical value. The concrete to be tested must have an age between three days and one year. For older concretes an additional correction factor may be required.
