Abstract

The purpose of inspection and testing of concrete and concrete-making materials is to determine whether their characteristics and qualities as used in construction comply with contract documents. Quality of testing has a direct bearing on the reliability of such determinations, and on quality control, and is therefore a key element in the construction process.
