The ICC Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector exam is open-book. But you still need to know exactly where to look—and fast. Your document is packed with the precise questions, verified answers, and code references that mirror the actual 47C and 47P modules. This isn't generic concrete trivia. It's exam simulation. What's inside: ACI 318 Mastery: Definitions (Chapter 2), reinforcement tolerances, splice requirements, cover specifications, and the code navigation skills the open-book exam demands . Reinforcing Steel Deep Dive: Bar sizes (#5 through #18), grade strengths, welding standards (ASTM A706), lap splice limits, bundled bar rules, and why most rebar is deformed . Concrete Composition & Testing: Water/cement ratios, air entrainment (ASTM C260), slump tests, cylinder curing temperatures, 28-day acceptance criteria, and the ASTM standards every inspector must recognize . Placement & Curing: Hot weather precautions, cold weather minimums, vibration technique, construction joint preparation, and the segregation warning signs . Exam-Ready Format: Questions formatted for 47C (60 questions, 2 hours) and 47P (30 questions, 1.5 hours) with verified answers throughout .
