Description

ACI SELF-CONSOLIDATING CONCRETE TESTING TECHNICIAN I (1-day) 4 CPD hrs.

A Self-Consolidating Concrete Testing Technician is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge of and ability to properly perform five standard test methods and practices on self-consolidating concrete.

This program assesses proficiency in the following ASTM test methods and practices:

• C1610/C1610M—Static Segregation of Self-Consolidating Concrete Using Column Technique
• C1611/C1611M—Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete
• C1621/C1621M—Passing Ability of Self-Consolidating Concrete by J-Ring
• C1712—Rapid Assessment of Static Segregation Resistance of Self-Consolidating Concrete Using Penetration Test
• C1758/C1758M—Fabricating Test Specimens with Self-Consolidating Concrete

ACI will grant certification to candidates who meet both of the following requirements:

1. Passing score on the written examination, AND
2. Successful completion of the performance examination.

The one-hour written examination is closed-book and consists of approximately 50 multiple-choice questions. There are between 6-10 questions on each of the ASTM test methods and practices.

The performance examination is also closed-book and requires actual demonstration of the required test methods and practices. The examinee is assessed on his/her ability to correctly perform (or describe items verbally, where allowed) all of the required steps for each procedure.

Certification is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of testing. Recertification requires the successful completion of both the written and performance examinations.
