Test Method Title
Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
Reference Number
AASHTO T 22
Material
Concrete
Test Property
Compressive strength
Description of Test
Cylinders (typically 4" diameter x 8" high or 6" diameter x 12" high) are cast in-field with fresh concrete, cured over night, transported to the laboratory and cured in water (or high-humidity chamber). At the pre-determined curing period, the cylinder is tested in compression with strength and failure mode recorded and reported.
Number of Test Specimens
1 but typically several specimens per set of cylinders
Test Specimen Size
Typically 4" x 8" or 6" x 12" cylinders
