The special quality control and testing needed to measure reliably the strength of specimens of high-strength concrete and to achieve high-strength concrete consistently are discussed. Preconstruction and construction procedures are covered, including planning trial mixtures, preconstruction meetings, batching, placing and testing. The concept of prequalifying suppliers and laboratories is introduced. A method for the evaluation of date is included.
