Large projects also involve casting tests as well. When you do a pour, you also cast a few cylindrical molds of concrete. Then, you test those cylinders after a few weeks.
If your goal is to safely sabatoge a project, something that causes an issue here seems like a good option. It will get caught before it becomes a safety issue; but after it has already cost a significant amount of time and resources
get to the inspector. become the inspector. cause the project to be built in a way that it will fail. the inspector is the easiest point of failure. cause cost overruns because of safety. be creative.
Ahh, yeah my experience is more oriented to residential construction back when I was going to school. For that stuff you were lucky if anyone did a slump test.
I would still be uneasy about doing this to a commercial space in my state at least. It wouldn’t surprise me if a construction company attempted to place a bribe to a lab or more likely a local official if it was cheaper than digging out a bad slab.
