When it is necessary to determine the strength of concrete prior to 28 days,sufficient additional sets of concrete cylinders will be cast and cured in place inthe same manner as the concrete that the samples represent unless otherwiseapproved by the Vale Representative.

9.4 INVESTIGATION OF LOW STRENGTH RESULTS

If concrete testing indicates inadequacies in the concrete, core testing will beconducted in accordance with CSA-A23.1 and CSA-A23.2.

When core tests fail to provide assurance of structural adequacy, Vale reservesthe right to specify any corrective measures that may be necessary includingstrengthening or replacement of those portions deemed to be unsatisfactory.

10.0 ALTERNATE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS

Do not substitute materials, construction methods, mix designs, sizes, grades, locations ofreinforcement bars or embedded items unless approved by the Vale Representative.
