    The document is a test report from ACTS Central Laboratory Beirut that details the setting time of a concrete mixture. The concrete was tested for initial and final setting times according to ASTM C403/C 403 M. The initial setting time was found to be 8 minutes and the final setting time was found to be 11 minutes based on a graph of penetration resistance over time. The concrete mix contained Type 1 cement, crushed sand, natural sand, coarse aggregate, and medium aggregate with an water-cement ratio of 0.35 and slump of 240 mm.
