Abstract:
The article discusses the importance of quality control, specifically, construction quality management, in concrete construction during hot and cold weather conditions. There is a definite need to know when the conditions are detrimental to the production of quality concrete construction, and what steps must be taken to maintain quality assurance. Problems and plans to alleviate them should be anticipated, and also a good evaluation program should be maintained.
