Abstract
This manuscript is about the concrete specification. The concrete specification testing is a process by which dif-ferent tests are carried out such as compressive strength, carbonation depth, ASTM rapid chloride permeability, NDT chloride and initial surface absorption test (ISAT-10) to determine the quality and performance of the con-crete in terms of strength, carbonation depth, chloride permeability and surface absorption.
