Why Quality Control?
Even with the best mixture designs, failures occur in
concrete structures, some of which are attributable to
design and the others to the material itself. However,
more often than not, the failure is a result of negligence
and lack of attention to quality on the jobsite during
construction.

BIS acceptance criteria
As per the IS code (Clause 16 of IS 456:2000), for a given
set of tests, the compressive strength is taken as the
average of three tests, no one test differing from the
average by more than 15%. The strength requirements
are deemed to meet standards if the following conditions
are satisfied.
Compressive strength:
Mean of 4 test results > fck + 0.825 σ, or fck + 4 MPa (whichever
is greater)
Individual strength result > fck – 4 MPa
Flexural strength (ft is the characteristic flexural strength):
Mean of 4 test results > ft + 0.3 MPa
Individual strength result > ft – 0.3 MPa

Concrete Technology
Concrete is most widely used man made construction
material in the world.
Concrete is obtained by mixing cementitious material ,
water, aggregate and admixtures (if required)
The mixture when Placed in forms and allowed to cure ,
harden into rock like mass known as concrete
Key characteristic of concrete is strength and durability.
Concrete possesses high compressive strength but low
tensile strength.
