QA/QC Testing for Concrete in Harsh Environments
Quality assurance and quality control testing for concrete is becoming more complex. In addition to typical concrete tests for strength, slump and air content, there are other performance-based tests that measure such properties as permeability and resistance to chemical attack. Many of these test methods are complicated and sensitive to variability in sampling and procedure. Some tests are best suited for pre-qualifying concrete mixtures while others are better suited for field acceptance. This paper describes a general concept of specifying and acceptance for concrete in harsh environments. It will provide guidance on which tests to specify, the precision of each test and the appropriate acceptance criteria.
