Answer / raju goyal

As per my view : At the time of casting of any structure we would have to taken six samples from the each load or batch in which 3 samples keep 7days and 3 samples for 28 days testing. The 7days samples should have minimum 75 % strength and 95 % strength in 28 days should be gained of it's characteristics strength .
