ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician – Capping,
Cylinder Testing, and Load Applications Exam Prep
Description:
This file contains sample written exam questions and answers for ACI Concrete
Strength Testing Technician certification. It covers procedures for capping,
compressive strength testing, load application, percent error requirements, and
reporting results. The material follows ASTM standards and provides step-by-step
technical knowledge for strength testing.
These procedures for capping enable concrete cylinders and cores to meet the
standard's requirements for: a) planeness b)strength c) perpendicularity d) B and C e)
A and C - answer✔✔E) The strength of the neat hydraulic cement paste used for
capping cylinders depends on: a) the water/cement ratio b) time c) its consistency d)
the type of cement e) all of the above - answer✔✔E) The maximum allowable
depth of depressions in the ends of cylinders that need not be sawed or ground in: a)
5 mm [0.20 in.] b) 6 mm [0.24 in.] c) 8 mm [0.31 in.] d) 9 mm [0.35 in.] -
answer✔✔A) Practie C1231/C1231M contains step-by-step procedures for
aligning the specimens in the testing machine through initial application of the load:
