BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY Task-1 1.1 Explain the quality control testing before you allow starting the concreting work for the foundation‚ columns‚ slab and beams. There are two main tests to be done on concrete The slump test: the slump test shows the workability of concrete. The compression test: the compression test shows the best possible strength Concrete can reach in perfect conditions. Testing should always be done carefully. Wrong test results can be costly. SAMPLING The first step
