Introduction

This guide presents a brief instruction for the Users of the ICC Concrete Test Result Analyzer Windows application and Database system. The application provides an easy way to keep records, search out the details & analyze the results of concrete cubical strengths. Analyze will be done according to the conformity criteria recommended in BSEN 206 1:2000. The result of this application will be helpful to identify the compliance of the concrete, optimize the mix design, identify the better sources of concrete and/or cement, conformity of the batching plant, etc...
