Quality control begins in the production of materials used in concrete. The most common measurement is the uniformity of the compressive strength specimens. Statistical concepts can also be applied to test results on materials used in the concrete, on the fresh concrete, and on other properties of the hardened concrete.

Purpose ■ To assure placement of consistent, uniform concrete in the work ■ To minimize variation in concrete properties such that the concrete will perform in a predictable manner ■ To achieve maximum economy in the work Where does quality control begin? ■ It begins in the production of materials used in concrete (sampling and testing): Portland cement Pozzolan Coarse and fine aggregates ■ Uniformity of concrete production will be no greater than the uniformity of materials used in that concrete How does quality control continue? ■ Handling and stockpiling ■ Batching and mixing ■ Sampling and testing fresh concrete Slump Air content Unit weight Temperature ■ Transporting and placing the freshly mixed concrete How do we measure quality control? ■ The most common measurement is the uniformity of the compressive strength specimens determined from statistical concepts (ACI 214) ■ These same statistical concepts can also be applied to test results on materials used in the concrete, on the fresh concrete, and on other properties of the hardened concrete. Primary criteria for application of statistical concepts ■ The primary criteria for application of statistical concepts is that the data to be analyzed has been developed from random sampling, and ■ At least 30 consecutive test results are available for analysis. Normal distribution curve Level of acceptance Standards of Concrete Control (General Construction Testing) ACI 214 ■ Excellent: Std. Dev. below 2.76 MPa ■ Very Good: Std. Dev. of 2.76 to 3.45 MPa ■ Good: Std. Dev. of 3.45 to 4.14 MPa ■ Fair: Std. Dev. of 4.14 to 4.83 MPa ■ Poor: Std. Dev. above 4.83 MPa Within-test variation Standards of Concrete Control (Field Control Testing) ACI 214 ■ Excellent: Coefficient of variation below 3.0 percent ■ Very good: Coefficient of variation of 3.0 to 4.0 percent ■ Good: Coefficient of variation of 4.0 to 5.0 percent ■ Fair: Coefficient of variation of 5.0 to 6.0 percent ■ Poor: Coefficient of variation above 7.0 percent
