    Uploaded by

    Usman Shahid
    This document provides a checklist for inspecting concrete placement and testing in 3 stages: pre-placement of formwork and materials, during concrete placement, and post-placement testing. The pre-placement section covers inspecting forms, joints, and waterstops. The during placement section covers concrete delivery testing, placement procedures, finishing, and curing. The post-placement section covers curing, repairs, and compressive strength testing to ensure the concrete meets specifications. The checklist is intended to help ensure proper inspection of concrete works at each stage of the process.

    The key takeaways from the document are that concrete inspection involves three stages - pre-placement, during placement, and post-placement inspections. Pre-placement inspections involve formwork and material inspections, during placement involves concrete placement, and post-placement involves final acceptance and testing.

    The three stages of inspection for concrete works mentioned are pre-placement inspection, inspection during placement, and post-placement inspection.

    Formwork inspections that need to be conducted include checking that the forms are substantial and tight to prevent leakage, that sufficient nailing/bolting/welding is used, and that irregularities in the formwork surface do not exceed certain tolerances based on the class of exposure.

    Inspection Checklist for Concrete Placement

    Stages of Inspection of Concrete Works:

    Inspection of concrete is done in 3 stages,

     Pre-placement | Formwork & Material Receiving Inspection


     During placement | Concrete Placement Inspection
     Post-placement | Final Acceptance and Testing Inspection

    Formwork Inspection:

     Forms shall be substantial and sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of mortar from the
    concrete. Contractor shall use sufficient nailing, bolting, welding, shoring, whalers, form
    clamps and forming of adequate strength to contain the fluid concrete without noticeable
    deflection, leaning or bulging. (ACI 347-04, Sec. 3.1.1)
     Irregularities in formwork surfaces measured with a 1.5m straightedge shall not exceed:
    3mm for Class A surfaces exposed to public view; 6mm for Class B areas to be plastered;
    13mm for Class C where appearance does not matter; 25mm for Class D permanently
    hidden concrete surfaces. (ACI 347-04, Sec. 3.4, Table 3.1)
     Joints not specified on IFC Drawings shall be installed to maintain the Architectural Finished
    appearance, shall have prior approval by the Client representative.
     Paving or slab construction joints not specified on the drawings, shall be located at column
    centerlines and at intermediate intervals so that each panel shall not be more than 55m2 in
    area.
     Waterstops shall be provided in joints where watertight construction is required;
    waterstops shall be as shown on IFC Drawings or as specified by Client.
     Joint filler strips shall be made from cellulose fibers or cork securely bound together by a
    suitable asphaltic binder, sponge rubber, or PVC and the type shall be as called out on the
    IFC Drawings. (ASTM D1751 or ASTM D1752). Inspection Checklist for Concrete Works

    Concrete Receiving, Sampling & Testing Inspection:

     All ready-mix concrete shall be delivered to the site with a batch ticket listing the following:
    o Name of the ready-mix company
    o Serial number of the ticket, date, truck number
    o Name of purchaser
    o Name of the job and location
    o Client mix design number
    o Amount of concrete in cubic meters (or yards)
    o Time of loading if wet mix
    o Reading of the revolution counter at the first addition of water
    o Type, brand and amount of cement, silica fume, aggregates and
    o admixtures.
    o Total Mixing Water
    o Maximum Size of Aggregate
    o Mass of fine and course aggregate
    o Signature or initials of producer’s representative
     Concrete shall be discharged from the mixer within 90 minutes or before the drum has
    revolved 300 revolutions, whichever comes first after the introduction of mixing water to
    the cement & aggregates or introduction of cement to the aggregates.
     Concrete delivered at a temperature in excess of 32°C or that fails to maintain a
    temperature of 32°C until used, shall be rejected.
     No aluminum parts shall be placed in contact with concrete during mixing or delivery.
     Slump and cylinder test samples shall be taken from the end of the mixture truck chute or
    at the discharge point of the concrete placement hose when concrete pumps are used.
    Inspection Checklist for Concrete Works
     Strength tests as well as slump, temperature, density and air content tests (when required
    by the specifications) shall be made with a frequency of not less than one test for each 115
    m³. Each test shall be made from a separate batch. On each day concrete is delivered, at
    least one strength test shall be made for each class of concrete.
     The minimum required number of concrete test cylinders for strength tests shall be:

    Age (Days)  |    No. of Cylinders

    3                           1
    7                           1

    28                         2

    Concrete Placement Inspection:

     Equipment made of aluminum alloys shall not be used for pump lines, tremies or chutes
    used to discharge concrete from a truck mixer.
     Concrete shall not be placed prior to a recorded pre-placement inspection and authorization
    to proceed by Client.
     Experienced form watchers shall be provided during concrete placement to detect form
    displacement or the beginning of failure. (ACI 347-04, Sec. 3.1)
     Raking shall not be used for movement of concrete after placement.
     Vibrators shall not be used to move concrete inside forms. Concrete Pour Checklist Excel
     Retempering of concrete after placement is prohibited.
     Concrete that has partially hardened or been contaminated by foreign materials shall not be
    deposited in the structure. (ACI 301-05 para. 5.3.2.4)

    would fall freely for more than 1 meter.
     Placed concrete shall be consolidated by mechanical vibration equipment supplemented by
    hand spading, rodding or tamping.

    members into flexurally discontinuous elements. (ACI 318M-08, Sec. 2.2.3.1)
     Paving or slab construction joints not specified on the IFC Drawings, shall meet all
    requirements for architectural concrete matching the grade and type of finish present in the

    Final Acceptance and Testing Inspection:

     Water curing shall be continuous until the compressive strength has reached 70% of the
    specified strength, but not less than 7 days after placement.
     Continuous water cure can be provided by covering with wet burlap and plastic; The
    saturated burlap shall be covered with a plasticized sheet vapor barrier, minimum 0.15 mm
    (6 mils) in thickness (Polyethylene Sheeting).

    in smooth with a trowel or carborundum grind stone float. (ACI 515.1R, Sec. 3.2.1) Post

     Compressive strength tests on cylindrical samples are performed in accordance with ASTM
    C39/ C39M.
     The strength tests representing each class of concrete meet the following requirements:
    o
     The average of any three consecutive strength tests is equal to, or greater
    than, the specified strength, f’c and
     When the specified strength is 5000 psi (35MPa) or less, no individual
    strength test (average of two cylinders) is more than 500 psi (3.5MPa) below
    the specified strength, f’c.
     When the specified strength is greater than 5000 psi (35MPa), no individual
    strength test (average of two cylinders) is less than 0.90 f’c.
