What are the standard codes used for test procedures for in-situ testing of various construction materials?

Hi, A building code is reference material to regulate the activities of construction in our country. The building codes include various information which is based on administrative regulations.

According to the ACI, the building code is reference material for local laws relating to the buildings how to design for belt expression li by keeping the measure of safety and quality aspects for the final structure. Refer attached image for various definitions and values.
