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 trail mixtures, preconstruction meetings, batching, placing, curing, and testing.
