Sample Questions

The document provides specifications and standards for concrete construction projects in Saudi Arabia. It includes requirements for materials, mix designs, placement, curing, and testing of concrete. Maximum aggregate size is 50mm, required slump is 100mm±25mm, and water-cement ratio must be 0.4-0.6 depending on the application. Concrete compressive strength must reach 28MPa for structural elements and 14MPa for other uses after 28 days of curing. Reinforcing steel must have a minimum tensile strength of 422MPa. Quality control, testing, and inspection are required according to standards from ACI, ASTM, SASO, and Saudi Aramco.
