If the batching operation is manual, the inspector should be present at the batching console during all batching. The inspector should verify that quantities of materials for each batch fall within the tolerances set forth by the project spec-ifications. 1.3.5 The inspector should verify that coarse- and fine-

selecting tolerances. As the title “Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials (ACI 117)” implies, the toler-ances given are standard or usual tolerances that apply to various types and uses of concrete construction. They are based on normal needs and common construction tech-niques and practices.

1.2.2 Tolerances shall not extend the structure be-yond legal boundaries. 1.2.3 Tolerances are not cumulative. The most re-strictive tolerance controls. 1.2.4 Plus ( + ) tolerance increases the amount or di-mension to which it applies, or raises a level alignment. Minus ( - ) tolerance decreases the amount or dimen-

What is ACI 117 tolerance?

1 day ago · The batching tolerance is an acceptable percentage of variations for individual batching of each mix ingredient. ACI 304R-00 provides typical batching tolerance which is presented in Table-1. Table-2 shows how each tolerance influences the batch weight of a typical 24 MPa concrete mix.

Commentary synopsis: This report is a commentary on the “Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials (ACI 117).” It is intended to be used with ACI 117 for clarity of interpretation and insight into the intent of the committee regarding the application of the tolerances set forth therein.

The batching tolerance is an acceptable percentage of variations for individual batching of each mix ingredient. ACI 304R-00 provides typical batching tolerance, which is presented in Table-1. Table-2 shows how each tolerance influences the batch weight of a typical 24 MPa concrete mix. The influence of batching tolerances on concrete slump can ...

ACI Manual of Concrete Inspection Reported by ACI Committee 311 ACI 311.1R-07 (ACI SP-2(07)) PREFACE This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers.

ACI 301 Section 4.2.3.2 – Standard Deviation Standard deviation - a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of deviation for a group as a whole. Field testing data may be used to determine a standard deviation (Ss). The standard deviation is for the producing plant, not the mixture.
