Kraus-Anderson Construction Company <br /> Project B14-05902 <br /> March 18, 2015 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Fresh Concrete Testing <br /> Routine tests to determine the plastic concrete's slump,temperature and air content were done during <br /> each pour. In addition, concrete cylinders were cast at rates specified in the project specifications to <br /> evaluate the concrete's compressive strength. <br /> Concrete Compressive Strength Testing <br /> The cast concrete cylinders were temporarily stored at the site and then returned to our laboratory for <br /> moist curing and testing.The results of the concrete compressive strength testing were forwarded to the <br /> interested parties under a separate cover as they became available. <br /> Masonry Construction Observations <br /> Prior to conducting the observations,the special inspector reviewed the construction documents and any <br /> associated approved submittals.As construction began,the proportions ofthe mortar, construction of <br /> mortarjoints and the location of reinforcement and connectors was observed for compliance with the <br /> requirements of the project plans and specifications. <br /> The inspection program included determining the size and location of structural elements in addition to <br /> the type, size, and location of anchors, including other details of anchorage of masonry to structural <br /> members,frames or other construction for compliance. We also determined if the specified size,grade <br /> and type of reinforcement was used and if the protection of masonry was in compliance with the <br /> guidelines of the IBC. <br /> Prior to grouting,the cleanliness of the grout space, placement of reinforcement and connectors, <br /> proportions of grout and construction of mortarjoints were observed. <br /> Concrete Masonry Grout Testing <br /> The grout prisms cast were tested in general accordance with ASTM C1019:Standard Test Method for <br /> Sampling and Testing Grout.The samples were temporarily stored at the site and returned to our <br /> laboratory for compressive strength testing.The results for the compressive strengths of the grout <br /> prisms were forwarded to the interested parties under separate cover as they became available. <br /> Drilled Epoxy Anchor Observations <br /> Observations were preformed during the installation of the drilled in epoxy anchors and to determine if <br /> they were installed according to the requirements of the manufacturer and the project documents. <br /> Items observed included the placement,depth of embedment, cleanliness of the drilled hole and <br /> application of the epoxy adhesive. The type of epoxy used was also documented for compliance with <br /> the requirements of the specifications. <br /> eRauN <br /> INT RTEC <br />
