- To detect the variation of quality of concrete being supplied for a given specification.
- To establish whether the concrete has attained a sufficient strength or concrete has set sufficiently for stripping, stressing, de-propping, opening to traffic etc.
- To establish whether the concrete has gained sufficient strength for the intended purpose.
- There are so many tests available for testing different qualities of concrete. Different tests give results for their respective quality of concrete. Thus it is not possible to conduct all the tests as it involves cost and time. Thus, it is very important to be sure about purpose of quality tests for concrete.
- The most important test for quality check of concrete is to detect the variation of concrete quality with the given specification and mix design during concrete mixing and placement. It will ensure that right quality of concrete is being placed at site and with checks for concrete placement in place, the quality of constructed concrete members will be as desired.
