If the quantity of concrete is less than ______ cubic yards, the compliance test reports are not required?

• A. 100
• B. 25
• C. 75
• D. 50

Answer: (D)

The question tests the rule for when compliance test reports are required for concrete work. The key point is the threshold: if the total quantity of concrete placed in a single pour is less than 50 cubic yards, you do not need to prepare or submit compliance test reports. This avoids unnecessary testing paperwork on small jobs, while larger pours—50 cubic yards or more—require documented test results to verify the concrete meets the specified mix, strength, and other properties.

For example, a pour of 45 cubic yards wouldn’t need compliance test reports, but a 55 cubic yard pour would require them, showing that the concrete meets the project’s requirements. Keep in mind that exact requirements can vary by project specs or jurisdiction, so verify current guidelines in practice.
