I understand there are different mixes of concrete, but considering the importance of that test plant, we can assume they used the premium stuff. I didn't pull that 75% strength/7-day figure out of my ass; I'd think the NPCA knows what they're talking about. As far as cracking with heavy equipment, that depends... If someone backed a flatbed onto a green slab and dumped tons of heavy equipment, I'd be worried. However, we can assume they hired construction workers who know better.

Finally some facts. Flip, it’s been 28 years for me since I worked on a concrete plant, but you are spot on with your info. I would even speculate that the additives nowadays are far more advanced than they were back then. Concrete is always curing. The question is how long is the right amount so that it is strong enough to bear the load. For that, you are spot on again. It’s up to the dude on the ground making the decisions. I must say;however, that I like the effort that people on this board are putting in. It adds to the speculation drama. We are only missing some background music.
