    All I've ever seen for certification test of concrete (here in the USA), cardboard helical wound forms are used. I think they are 6" diameter, and match the test machine hydraulic foot and anvil.
    I can see that a larger test specimen might give better numbers, if someone is messing with the ratio of materials.
    It does appear they are pouring a mono-pour foundation footing with thick slab of some sort.
