Achieving Quality in Concrete Construction
Abstract Quality of concrete construction includes steps for maintaining the required strength of concrete within the deviation permitted and construction of a durable structure. Quality of concrete construction depends on many factors. From the selection of construction materials to the curing of the structural member, each and every step must be carried out to maintain the quality requirement of the project. Any deviation from the required quality may result in failure of the structure or may impose financial implications on the contractor for not maintaining the quality. This chapter discusses the methods for achieving quality control and ensuring quality assurance in concrete construction. The topics addressed are quality control, quality control plan, factors causing variations in the quality of concrete, quality assurance through control of design, material control, inspection, testing, and evaluation.
