The concrete mixes that were analysed Received in revised form are the commonly used Australian N32 and N40 mixes. Samples of concrete were extracted from 17 September 2010 concrete trucks on site to ensure that the concrete had been exposed to batching and transport processes Accepted 17 September 2010 Available online 30 October 2010 associated with typical concrete supply. Curing times for test samples ranged from 7 to 28 days. The test frequency was significantly increased for testing samples at 7 and 28 days due to their importance as commonly referenced values in design.
