Understanding construction materials ensures
that structures are built “safely” and can withstand various stresses
over time, preventing failures and accidents.
Quality and Safety
Construction projects need good materials and
understanding of how to use them well. Designers,
builders, and users must know about materials,
construction _________, ____________ and ___________
for successful and cost-effective outcomes.
materials, construction methods, and maintenance
___________ and _____________ are both organizations that set standards for materials used in construction, including highways and transportation infrastructure.
AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Tansportation Officials) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
________ primarily focuses on standards related to transportation
and highway infrastructure.
AAHSTO
_________ sets standards for a wide
range of materials and products used in various industries, including
construction.
ASTM
________ is degree of excellence. It is described by such general terms as stable, durable, rigid or flexible. Some equate it to cost, others to conform or elegance. However, _______ for different individuals may vary since it is influenced by factors, such as economics, aesthetics, safety, or performance
Quality
__________ is to regulate. It is usually used in relation to weight, population, or prices. It is instituted when there is need to check or regulate due to some important,
compelling reasons.
Control
__________ is checking for conformance to requirements. It is now widely and increasingly used in the construction industry. It is instituted during the course of construction as a ____________, not as a corrective measure. Preventive measures are always more ________.
Quality Control, preventive tool, economical
To ensure the highest quality of work and extend the service life of any structure by constructing according to the prescribed ________ and ________.
plans and specifications
The ________ indicate the specific type of the structure and the __________ present the characteristic in which it is built, as well as
the materials that are to be incorporated into the work.
plans, specifications
To check and regulate the use of construction materials and to economize on the cost of construction. Fulfilling these, requires ____________ prior to and after placing to their final position in the structure. Normally, every material should be subjected to _____________, ____________, ________ before acceptance.
adequate control of materials ( testing, inspection, and verification)
___________ is degree of certainty. _________ is a function of the ________ to verify/audit and evaluate that the work is done in accordance with specifications. Some call it ___________
Assurance, Quality Assurance, owner, acceptance inspection.
It is the basic means or a tool by which an engineer or an inspector can be used to determine whether the materials should be allowed to be incorporated or be rejected into the work.
Material Testing
It is a documented proof of the quality of materials indicating it meets or it fails the desired properties as called for in the specifications requirements of an approved contract.
Materials Testing
There can be no quality assurance without adequate __________at the source or manufacturer or at construction,
therefore _______ is a tool for measuring quality control in project implementation.
quality control, testing
_________ is an important complement of quality control in engineering works
Testing
__________, _________, ___________ who are involved
in the implementation of various infrastructures needs to learn testing technology in construction materials to enhance and strengthen their capabilities in the implementation of _____________ of a project.
Project Engineers, Materials Engineers, Laboratory Technicians, Quality Assurance Program
The _______ has the prime responsibility to produce/process the products to meet/satisfy the quality requirements in accordance with the Specifications prior to incorporating them into the project.
contractor
____________ applies to the written contract documents which includes material and workmanship requirements, inspection and testing procedures and procedures for
measurement and payment of work, all of which are mostly based on American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
Specifications
The _________, however becomes the starting point of quality
control. Without specification, there can be no quality control.
specifications
has the primary responsibility of producing a complete, accurate, and costefficient
building in accordance to the approved set of plans of the project, what are the taks of this?
Project Engineer, PCPCP, Planning, Coordinating, Project Control, Communication and Documents, Personnel
Responsible for the sampling as instructed by the owner’s Engineer, testing, inspection and submission of quality control reports data.
Materials Engineer ( Contractor’s Side)
Supervise continuously the Contractor’s technicians/foremen in carrying out
specified sampling, testing and reporting works;
Materials Engineer ( Owner Side)
Ascertain that all materials pass the requirements of the DPWH Standard Specifications for Highways.
Materials Engineer from the Government Side
