Let the curing begin! All is done for now here. That had to be some of the
hardest work I have done in a long while. 8.5
cubic yards of 4000psi concrete. Next step is to put together the tower
sections. Probably over the weekend. More pictures
on Picasa.

Thank you for the suggestions.
I called Advanced Testing in my area and got some information. First, I
checked the trustworthiness of the concrete company.
That checked out. The technical person I spoke with had a lot experience with
concrete testing and curing. A 4" slump and
no more for this job. However, due to the very warm temperatures in the north
east, I should cover it with plastic to keep
the moisture from evaporating off the top.
I will keep the group posted and post more pictures.
Thanks.
Anthony

So you have your concrete delivered, test canisters filled. You wait
28-30 days and have the canister tested and Whoops, it fails the test.
What happens next? I know that if it failed by a "little bit", most of
us would just figure, heck, use as is, that's what design margin is for.
But realistically, say it was totally defective. Is it demolish the
(huge) cube o' concrete and send a bill to concrete vendor time? (I'm
assuming the delivery contract says that if they don't deliver the right
material, they're responsible)
