This document outlines quality control standards and procedures for civil engineering works. It discusses determining quality characteristics to monitor at each stage of construction to ensure structures meet design specifications cost-effectively. Various tests are listed to monitor materials and properties for earthworks, concrete, asphalt and other works to maintain stable processes and standards. Testing frequency requirements are provided for different material types, tests, and construction stages.

2. QUALITY CONTROL
A SYSTEM OF METHODS FOR THE COST EFFECTIVE
PROVISION OF GOOD OR SERVICES WHOSE QUALITY
FITS THE PURCHASER REQUIREMENTS
FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS:
A CONTROL SYSTEM APPLIED AT EACH LEVEL OF THE
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT STRUCTURE
SATISFY ALL THE STANDARD OF DESIGN AND
SPECIFICATION IN THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY.

3. REQUIREMENT FOR COMPLETE QC SYSTEM
• THE STRUCTURE MUST SATISFY THE
STANDARD WITHIN THE SPECIFIED DEGREE
OF TOLERANCE.
• ALL PROCESS RELATED TO QUALITY
CONTROL, SUCH AS RAW MATERIALS,
EQUIPMENT, WORKERS AND WORK METHOD
MUST REMAIN STABLE

4. PROCEDURE FOR QUALITY CONTROL
1. DETERMINE THE CHARACTERISTIC VALUE TO BE
CONTROLLED.
2. DETERMINE THE QUALITY STANDARD FOR THE
SELECTED CHARACTERISTIC.
3. DETERMINE THE WORK STANDARD(WORK
METHOD) TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY
STANDARD.

5. CONT…
4. IMPLEMENT CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO THE
WORK STANDARD AND COLLECT DATA
5. CHECK COLLECTED DATA IF CONFORMS WITH THE
QUALITY STANDARD USING HISTOGRAM, TO
CREATE A CONTROL CHART BASED ON THE SAME
DATA TO CHECK IF THE PROCESS IS STABLE.
6. PROCEDURE 5 MUST BE REPEATED WITH RECENT
DATA WHEN A PERIOD OF TIME TO EQUAL TO
THAT DURING WHICH TIME THE INITIAL DATA
WAS COLLECTED HAS PASSED, OR IF THE NUMBER
OF SAMPLE REACH 20, OR AFTER ONE MONTH.

6. QUALITY CHARACTERISTIC MUST:
1. REPRESENT THE ENTIRE STATE OF THE
PROCESS
2. SIGNIFICANTLY REFLECT THE DESIGN
QUALITY
3. EASY TO USE
4. ALLOW FOR EASY RESPONSE TO THE
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
