... C-1 A T T A C H M E N T C Recommended Standard Test Methods These proposed test methods are the recommendations of the NCHRP Project 18-12 staff at the University of Sherbrooke. These test methods have not been approved by NCHRP or any AASHTO committee nor formally accepted for the AASHTO Specifications.

... Do not subject the testing surface and the column mold to any vibration or disturbance. 8.2 Remixing of Sample: Remix the sample obtained in accordance with Section 7.1 in the sample receptacle using a shovel or scoop so that the concrete is homogeneous.
From page 87...
... Settlement rates of concrete determined at 15, 30, and 60 minutes after the beginning of surface settlement testing can be correlated to the maximum settlement values. The 15-minute rate of settlement can be used to estimate the maximum surface settlement.
