The objective of this course is to present implementable recently developed QA/QC tools that can be used to achieve good-quality concrete structures. This course will include research, as well as case studies, on the use of new QA/QC tools for different concrete applications. The target audience is specifiers, owners, testing agencies, producers, and contractors. The audience will learn about the importance of proper QA/QC programs for achieving good quality and durable concrete, will be introduced to newly developed QA/QC tools and testing, and will learn about the successful implementation of these tools, as well as their weakness and potential improvements.

The contents of this course include four recorded presentations from the ACI 2023 Fall Convention:
1. Why Producers, Contractors and Specifiers NEED More than the Slump Test by Joseph Daczko, Master Builders Solutions
2. Digitalization of Quality Control: A Million Cubic Meter Concrete Perspective by George McArthur, Balfour Beatty Vinci (BBV)
3. A New Approach to Measuring the w/cm in Fresh Concrete by Tyler Ley, Oklahoma State University
4. Emerging Technologies for the Assessment of New Concrete Structures by John Popovics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

1. Identify proper QA/QC programs for achieving good quality and durable concrete.
2. Discuss newly developed QA/QC tools and testing.
