Note: Due to Greg Johnson being elected to serve on the ASTM Executive Committee and this class dates coinciding with those meetings, the instructors for the Dec 11/12 ACI Certification will be SDRMCA and SD ACPA Staff.
The certification was designed by ACI to promote better understanding of the ASTM procedures related to testing and acceptance of plastic concrete. This understanding will provide more reliable and accurate test results for better measurement of concrete performance.
