Abstract:
There is a definite need for in situ testing to determine the compliance of structures with designs based on the ACI Building Code and to sort out responsibilities for various aspects of concrete handling during construction. This article covers the importance of concrete strength testing to insure construction safety, provide quality concrete, and provide documentation of properly placed concrete.
