THREE QUESTIONS
Does the mix meet the performance requirements of
the specifications with respect to strength and other
characteristics such as shrinkage, permeability, w/cm
ratio, etc?
Is the historical or trial batch test data adequate to
justify the strength?
Do the materials used comply with the project
requirements as evidenced by test results,
certifications, and product data?
