The American Concrete Institute recognizes 28 days or "the test age designated for determination of the specified compressive strength."5 Therefore, when a specifier calls for 5,000 psi concrete at 28 days, this tells the concrete producer to select a mix design that will attain a minimum of 5,000 psi 28 days after manufacture.Web
