Answer: D - The statements regarding concrete used as a building material that are considered to be correct are as follow:

· Commonly composed of water, cement, aggregate, and admixtures
· Concrete strength is normally tested at 28 days

ASCE is not recognized as the provider of design criteria for concrete building elements - the American Concrete Institution (ACI) holds that distinction. The ACI building code standards are set in the document ACI 318-05 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete.
