Report the following:

1. Date when specimen was cast or extracted.
2. Concrete mixture or material reference number and all other relevant information (cement type, cure duration, w/c ratio, etc.).
3. For each tested specimen, provide a table including complete experimental records and all dimensions measured.
4. Plot experimental measurements against testing time (Figure 11.12).
5. Plot the remaining water content of each tested specimen against testing time (Figure 11.12) once material porosity has been determined. Remaining water content is calculated by the following procedure: volume of specimen (cm3) = Weight in air (g) Weight in water (g); remaining water content (%) = [(Porosity (%) x Volume (cm3)/100 cumulative mass loss (g)]/Volume (cm3) x 100.
