    Control Tests For Concrete

    Uploaded by

    Bia Mughal
    This document outlines various tests for controlling concrete, including: 1. Tests of plastic concrete properties like slump, air content, and temperature and tests of hardened concrete like compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. 2. The required frequency of testing including testing the first batch daily, making cylinders for each 150 cubic yards placed, and testing surface area at least every 5000 square feet. 3. Standard test methods are provided for evaluating properties like slump, air content, density, setting time, strength, durability, permeability, and nondestructive tests.
