Exam Details

The North Carolina Reinforced Concrete Code Module (ICC - SI - 47CY) exam is connected to the ICC Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector certification path. Candidates should prepare for a reference-based exam that measures knowledge of reinforced concrete code requirements, concrete materials, reinforcement, placement procedures, field testing, sampling, and special inspection responsibilities. The codes module emphasizes technical requirements and inspection application rather than plan reading alone.

Reinforced concrete special inspection work requires a clear understanding of the inspector’s role before, during, and after concrete placement. Candidates should prepare for questions involving review of approved construction documents, verification of reinforcing steel, observation of concrete placement, review of concrete delivery information, field sampling, field testing, specimen preparation, discrepancy reporting, and inspection documentation.

The 2021 ICC Concrete Manual should be treated as the primary reinforced concrete inspection reference in this package. Candidates should use it to review concrete materials, reinforcement, formwork, placement, consolidation, curing, joints, concrete strength, inspection procedures, testing awareness, and code-based concrete construction concepts. The manual helps candidates connect field observations to reinforced concrete requirements and inspection responsibilities.

Reinforcing steel is a major study area. ASTM A615/A615M-26 supports study of deformed and plain carbon-steel bars for concrete reinforcement. ASTM A706/A706M-26 supports study of low-alloy steel deformed and plain bars for concrete reinforcement. ASTM A775/A775M-22 supports study of epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars. Candidates should understand that reinforcing bars must be the correct size, type, grade, coating condition, spacing, location, and lap length as required by approved documents and applicable requirements.

Concrete sampling and test specimen preparation are also important. ASTM C172/C172M-25 supports sampling freshly mixed concrete, while ASTM C31/C31M-26a supports making and curing concrete test specimens in the field. Candidates should understand how proper sampling and specimen handling affect test reliability and documentation. Poor sampling or improper specimen preparation can affect the accuracy of strength test results.

Fresh concrete testing should receive focused preparation. ASTM C143/C143M-26a supports slump testing, which is used to evaluate the consistency of fresh concrete. ASTM C231/C231M-26 supports air content testing by the pressure method. Candidates should understand why slump and air content matter, how they relate to project requirements, and how field test results are documented during placement.

Concrete material standards should also be reviewed. ASTM C33/C33M-24a supports study of concrete aggregates, while ASTM C150/C150M-24 supports study of portland cement. ASTM C94/C94M-26a supports study of ready-mixed concrete, and ASTM C685/C685M-25a supports study of concrete made by volumetric batching and continuous mixing. Candidates should understand how material standards, delivery methods, and batching procedures affect concrete quality and inspection responsibilities.

Open Book Test

The North Carolina Reinforced Concrete Code Module (ICC - SI - 47CY) exam is an open book test. Open book testing allows candidates to use approved references during the exam, but it still requires preparation, accuracy, and strong reference-navigation skills. Candidates must be able to identify the topic, choose the correct reference, locate the controlling requirement or procedure, and apply it within the testing period.

Open book special inspector exams require more than simply owning the books. Candidates should become comfortable moving through the 2021 ICC Concrete Manual and each ASTM standard included in this package. During preparation, candidates should repeatedly locate requirements related to reinforcing steel, epoxy-coated bars, concrete materials, ready-mixed concrete, field sampling, slump testing, air content testing, specimen preparation, concrete placement, and inspection documentation.

The 2021 ICC Concrete Manual should be used to understand reinforced concrete construction and inspection concepts. Candidates should practice locating topics related to concrete materials, formwork, reinforcement, placement, consolidation, curing, joints, embedded items, concrete strength, testing, and inspection procedures. Familiarity with the manual helps candidates move faster when a question asks about inspection duties or concrete construction practices.

The ASTM standards should be studied for their purpose, scope, terminology, procedures, equipment, reporting requirements, and limitations. Candidates should know which ASTM standard applies to each material or test. For example, ASTM C143 applies to slump testing, ASTM C172 applies to sampling freshly mixed concrete, ASTM C31 applies to making and curing field specimens, ASTM C231 applies to air content by the pressure method, ASTM C94 applies to ready-mixed concrete, and ASTM A615 applies to common carbon-steel reinforcing bars.

Timed practice is important. Reinforced concrete code questions often require careful reading because similar standards may apply to different materials, tests, or procedures. Candidates should practice with the books open and a clock running so they can build a rhythm for reading, identifying the topic, selecting the right reference, locating the information, applying the requirement, and moving on.

Open book preparation should also include organizing references according to current exam-day rules for book condition, tabs, highlights, markings, and permitted materials. A well-organized reference set can support faster lookup, but it does not replace study. Candidates should repeatedly practice using the same books they plan to use during exam preparation.

Licensing Steps

Candidates preparing for the North Carolina Reinforced Concrete Code Module (ICC - SI - 47CY) exam should begin by confirming that this module matches the certification, job requirement, jurisdiction requirement, employer requirement, or project requirement they are pursuing. Reinforced concrete special inspection requirements can depend on the authority having jurisdiction, project specifications, approved construction documents, testing agency requirements, and the role assigned to the inspector.

The ICC Special Inspector certification path for Reinforced Concrete includes the Special Inspector General Requirements exam module and reinforced concrete exam modules. Candidates should organize their exam plan around the applicable ICC certification path and their current credential status. Candidates pursuing reinforced concrete inspection work should also understand whether an employer, testing agency, building official, registered design professional, or project specification requires additional training, experience, documentation, or approval.

Test Information and Study Materials

The North Carolina Reinforced Concrete Code Module (ICC - SI - 47CY) Exam Book Package supports candidates by providing the listed references needed for focused exam preparation. Candidates should use these references to study both the technical inspection concepts and the ASTM procedures related to reinforced concrete. This exam requires more than general construction familiarity because reinforced concrete inspection depends on materials, placement, testing, reinforcement details, and careful documentation.

Reinforcing steel should be reviewed early. Candidates should understand bar size, grade, spacing, placement, support, cover, lap splices, development concepts, hooks, embedded items, epoxy coating, and material identification. ASTM A615/A615M-26, ASTM A706/A706M-26, and ASTM A775/A775M-22 support this preparation because they address different reinforcing bar materials and coating conditions.

Concrete materials should receive focused attention. Candidates should understand cement, aggregates, water, admixture awareness, ready-mixed concrete, volumetric batching, delivery, mixing, and concrete quality. ASTM C33/C33M-24a supports aggregate study, ASTM C150/C150M-24 supports portland cement study, ASTM C94/C94M-26a supports ready-mixed concrete study, and ASTM C685/C685M-25a supports volumetric batching and continuous mixing study.

Fresh concrete testing is a major inspection topic. Candidates should study sampling, slump testing, air content testing, specimen preparation, field curing, and documentation. ASTM C172/C172M-25 supports sampling freshly mixed concrete. ASTM C143/C143M-26a supports slump testing. ASTM C231/C231M-26 supports air content testing by the pressure method. ASTM C31/C31M-26a supports making and curing field specimens.

Concrete placement and inspection topics should include form condition, reinforcement verification, embeds, placement sequence, consolidation, cold joints, curing, protection, construction joints, concrete delivery tickets, field test records, and discrepancy reporting. Candidates should understand what should be observed before placement, during placement, and after placement.

Slump testing should be studied as both a procedure and an inspection concept. Candidates should understand that slump provides information about the consistency of fresh concrete, but it must be performed correctly to be meaningful. Questions may focus on equipment, procedure steps, measurement, timing, or how the result is documented.

Air content testing should be studied for its purpose and field application. Entrained air can be important for durability in certain exposure conditions, and field testing helps verify that fresh concrete meets project requirements. Candidates should understand how ASTM C231 is used and why proper sampling matters before air content testing is performed.

Concrete test specimens should be studied carefully. Improperly made, handled, or cured specimens may not represent the concrete being placed. Candidates should understand the role of ASTM C31 in field specimen preparation and why documentation, curing, identification, and handling are part of inspection quality.

Ready-mixed concrete and volumetric batching should also be included in study. Candidates should understand delivery documentation, batching information, mixing requirements, field adjustments, elapsed time awareness, and production method differences. ASTM C94 and ASTM C685 support preparation for these topics.

Study should be active and repetitive. Candidates should read a topic, locate it in the correct reference, create a mental path to that section, answer practice-style questions, and review missed areas. Repeated lookup practice is especially important because technical questions often require knowing which ASTM standard applies before looking up the details.

Candidates should also practice pacing. Some questions may be answered from strong topic knowledge, while others may require reference lookup or interpretation of a test method. A realistic study routine should include both technical review and timed practice so candidates can balance accuracy with speed.
