26.12.4.1, p. 551, Compliance requirements:
…

(b) Strength of a shotcrete mixture shall be acceptable if (1) and (2) are satisfied:
(1) Every arithmetic average of the strengths from three consecutive test panels equals or exceeds fc′.

(2) Thethe average compressive strength of three cores from a single test panel is not less than 0.85fc′
with no core having a strength less than 0.75fc′.

(c) If either ofthe requirements of 26.12.4.1(b) areis not satisfied, steps shall be taken to increase the
average of subsequent strength results.

(d) Requirements for investigating low strength-test results shall apply if the requirements of
26.12.6.1(b)(2) 26.12.4.1(b)(2) areis not met.

 
R26.12.6.1(e), pp. 553-554, revised as:

R26.12.6.1(e) An average core strength of 85 percent … The acceptance criteria for core strengths have
been established with consideration that cores for investigating low strength-test results will typically be
extracted at an age later than specified for fc′. For the purpose of satisfying 26.12.4.1(e)26.12.6.1(e), this
Code does not intend that core strengths be adjusted for the age of the cores.

R26.13.1.6, p. 556, add reference, revised as:

R26.13.1.6 The installation of all adhesive anchors requires inspection by a certified inspector.
Certification is established through an independent assessment such as the ACI Adhesive Anchor
Installation Inspector program (ACI CPP 681.1-17), the ACI Post-Installed Concrete Anchor Installation
Inspector program (ACI CPP 681.2-19), or similar program with equivalent requirements.
