The document summarizes a capstone project proposal on quality control and safety practices followed during reinforced concrete construction. The project will be carried out by 6 civil engineering students at Government Polytechnic, Ambad under the guidance of Mr. A.R. Bais. The introduction defines concrete and quality of concrete, noting that quality concrete is important for structural durability and strength. The main body then lists various aspects of quality control in concrete construction that will be examined, such as reinforcement properties and placement, concrete mix design, transport, pouring, compaction, and curing.

Concrete is a most widely used construction material, Commonly made by mixing of Cement with Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate, Water and Admixture.
What is quality of concrete?
For the building structure to be durable, more strength and also for aesthetic, accomplishing a quality concrete is of supreme importance. This is because the vital factor which determines or makes a building look elegant, gives a building more strength and durability the concrete's quality Quality control application in concrete construction
•Mechanical properties of the reinforcement to be used.
•Dimension of the reinforcement. •Location of the reinforcement in construction before concrete poured. •Location of pre-stressing ducts. •Properties of the cement used in the concrete. •Properties of the concrete mix designed of use in the structure. •Control of the coarse aggregates and fine aggregates going into the concrete. •Mixing of the concrete. Quality control application in concrete construction
•Transport of the concrete to the construction site.
•Slump of the concrete. •Pouring of the concrete. •Control of water addition. •Vibration/Compaction of the concrete. •Preparation of areas where different concrete pours are done. •Control of compression test sample. •Control of formwork removal.
