SARMA's VISION and MISSION

In Disputes…

Somebody measures

Somebody disagrees

Somebody accuses

Somebody defends

Somebody pays…..

What is on paper is what counts

He who claims, must prove…

Quality?

Quality = Fit for purpose

Testing = Verification of quality

The challenges:

Cement - regulated

Concrete – no law

Make concrete quality the law!

Concrete – specification

Water

Classification of aggregates:

SANS 1083

Mix Design

Fulton’s Concrete technology: 9th Edition

Slump

Material failure?

Test failure?

Specification Failure?

Failures

• Must be measureable

• Question:– What was specified?

– How was it contravened?

• SANS 878:– Fit for purpose in accordance to what

was specified
