Intent 1:
To limit the probability that substandard admixtures
will be used, which could lead to:
- the spalling or premature deterioration of concrete,
or
- the inadequate performance or premature failure of concrete
under expected environmental or structural loads.
This is to limit the probability of
compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
- structural failure, or
- where concrete supports or is used in an environmental
separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation
elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
