How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Ambient Temperature in °F and the 28-Day Design Strength of the concrete mix.
- Select the Member Type (vertical, slab soffit, or beam/joist soffit) and Cement Type.
- Indicate whether Wet Curing or blankets are being used — this reduces minimum strip time.
- Review Minimum Stripping Time in hours and days before removing any formwork.
- Check Estimated Strength at Strip and % of 28-Day Strength to confirm structural adequacy.
