Condition of concrete in the structure after proper size of core diameter. In
construction can be assessed directly by core general, core diameter should be
drilling at required location or at suspected greater than diameter of coarse
location. The core samples obtained are then aggregate and not below 2 inches.
taken for visual inspection and compression test However, outside diameter of core
to determine maximum compressive strength. barrel should allow penetration without
cutting the reinforcing steel.
Test Method Standard 1.3 Drill to take core samples at
The core drilling and compression testing shall approximately 0.50 m to 1.00 m
be done in accordance with ASTM Method C 42- interval until reaching the required
87. depth.
3. Compression Test
Place the core sample in the compression
machine and carry out the compression test in
accordance with ASTM Method C 42-87 until
reaching ultimate point. Record the maximum
load and inspect the failure mode of sample.
