The plans and specifications stipulate conditions for removal of forms and shores, and such conditions have been followed, or
The concrete has been properly tested with an appropriate ASTM standard test method designed to indicate the concrete compressive strength, and the test results indicate that the concrete has gained sufficient strength to support its weight and superimposed loads.
Reshoring shall not be removed until the concrete being supported has attained adequate strength to support its weight and all loads in place upon it.
