Concrete Test Result Review Agent

Collect concrete test reports per pour, compare breaks with specified strength, and track every low result to a decision

Concrete Test Result Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Cylinder results trickle in as separate reports, and a low break may be noticed weeks late. The agent collects slump, air and strength reports and ties each set to a pour and a structural element. It compares the 7-day and 28-day breaks with the specified strength and flags results that look low, using acceptance criteria. It checks that all cylinders in a set have reports and chases the missing ones. When a result is low, it links it to the affected element, proposes actions such as retest, cores or review of loads, and tracks them to a result. The engineer approves each acceptance decision. Edge case: a 7-day break is 62% of design, and the agent holds the call until the 28-day result.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

Read the steps as a list
  1. Test report arrives
  2. Read the report and match it to a pour and element
  3. Check that all cylinders in the set are reported
  4. Is every cylinder and field test accounted for?If not: Request missing reports from the lab. Back to step 2.
  5. Compare breaks with specified strength by pour
  6. Flag low or marginal results and link to elements
  7. Engineer approves proposed actions for low resultsThe agent waits here for your OK.
  8. Track core tests or retests to results
  9. Do the follow-up results meet the acceptance criteria?If not: Escalate to the engineer with the numbers and options. Back to step 6.

How it decides

A pour passes only when average 28-day strength meets specification; every low result opens a tracked action.

  • Flag a 7-day break under 65% of specified strength
  • Flag any 28-day average under specified strength
  • Flag any single cylinder under specified minus 500 psi
  • Request cores when the average fails the criteria

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Acceptance criteria source
  • Early-age flag level (default 65%)
  • Report formats supported
  • Who is alerted on low results

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Engineer approves acceptance decisions
  • Engineer approves core or remedial action requests

Hard limits

  • Never accept or reject concrete; only the engineer decides
  • Never hide a low result

It stops when

  • Done: each pour is accepted or has an approved remedy
  • Stop: results indicate possible structural concern and the engineer must review at once

An example run

What happensPour 14 on a podium slab had a 28-day average of 3,740 psi against 4,000 specified. The agent flagged it and linked it to grid C-F. The first check found two cylinder reports missing, so it requested them. The completed set averaged 3,810 psi, still low. The engineer approved three cores, which later averaged 3,950 psi.
