3.2 Perform Quality Assurance

Concrete Pavement Quality Control:

1. As per guidelines given in IRC: 15-2002 the construction of pavement shall

follow this.
2. Standard specifications and code of practice for construction of concrete roads
3. For tools, equipment, and appliances contractor should follow IRC:43-1972.
Mix proportions for concrete shall be pre-determined on basis of strength as per guidelines given
in IRC:59-1976 and IRC:44-1972.

4. Criteria for Site Acceptance

For different items of work, acceptance criteria may be based on minimum values or the
statistical analysis as it is considered wise. For effective road construction quality control of
material and work, it will usually be necessary to lay down the acceptance criteria in contract
documents.
