United States13.2 Generally, test specimens are obtained when doubt exists abou
17、t the in-place concrete quality due either to low strength testresults during construction or signs of distress in the structure. Another use of this method is to provide strength information onolder structures.3.3 Concrete strength is affected by the location of the concrete in a structural element
18、, with the concrete at the bottom tendingto be stronger than the concrete at the top. Core strength is also affected by core orientation relative to the horizontal plane of theconcrete as placed, with strength tending to be lower when measured parallel to the horizontal plane.3 These factors shall b
19、econsidered in planning the locations for obtaining concrete samples and in comparing strength test results.3.4 The strength of concrete measured by tests of cores is affected by the amount and distribution of moisture in the specimenat the time of test. There is no standard procedure to condition a
20、 specimen that will ensure that, at the time of test, it will be inthe identical moisture condition as concrete in the structure. The moisture conditioning procedures in this test method are intendedto provide reproducible moisture conditions that minimize within-laboratory and between-laboratory va
21、riations and to reduce theeffects of moisture introduced during specimen preparation.3.5 The measured compressive strength of a core will generally be less than that of a corresponding properly molded and curedstandard cylinder tested at the same age. For a given concrete, however, there is no uniqu
22、e relationship between the strengths ofthese two types of specimens (see Note 3). The relationship is affected by many factors such as the strength level of the concrete,the in-place temperature and moisture histories, the degree of consolidation, batch-to-batch variability, the strength-gaincharact
23、eristics of the concrete, the condition of the coring apparatus, and the care used in removing cores.NOTE 3A procedure is available for estimating the equivalent cylinder strength from a measured core strength.4NOTE 4In the absence of core strength requirements of an applicable building code or of o
24、ther contractual or legal documents that may govern theproject, the specifier of tests should establish in the project specifications the acceptance criteria for core strengths. An example of acceptance criteria forcore strength is provided in ACI 318,5 which are used to evaluate cores taken to inve
25、stigate low strength test results of standard-cured cylinder duringconstruction. According to ACI 318, the concrete represented by the cores is considered structurally adequate if the average strength of three cores is atleast 85 % of the specified strength and no single core strength is less than 7
26、5 % of the specified strength.3.6 The “specifier of the tests” referenced in this test method is the individual responsible for analysis or review and acceptanceof core test results.NOTE 5For investigation of low strength test results, ACI 318 defines the specifier of the tests as the licensed desig
27、n professional.3.7 The apparent compressive strength of concrete as measured by a core is affected by the length-diameter ratio (L/D) of thecore as tested and this must be considered in preparing core specimens and evaluating test results.4. Apparatus4.1 Core Drill, for obtaining cylindrical core sp
28、ecimens with diamond impregnated bits attached to a core barrel.4.2 Saw, for trimming ends of cores. The saw shall have a diamond or silicon-carbide cutting edge and shall be capable ofcutting cores without introducing cracks or dislodging aggregate particles.4.3 Balance, accurate to at least 5 g 0.
29、01 lb.5. Sampling5.1 General:5.1.1 Samples of hardened concrete for use in the preparation of strength test specimens shall not be taken until the concreteis strong enough to permit sample removal without disturbing the bond between the mortar and the coarse aggregate (see Note 6and Note 7). When pr
30、eparing strength test specimens from samples of hardened concrete, samples that have been damaged duringremoval shall not be used unless the damaged portion(s) are removed and the lengths of resulting test specimens satisfy theminimum length-diameter ratio requirement in 7.2. Samples of defective or
31、 damaged concrete that cannot be tested shall bereported along with the reason that prohibits use of the sample for preparing strength test specimens.NOTE 6Practice C823/C823M provides guidance on the development of a sampling plan for concrete in constructions.NOTE 7It is not possible to specify a
32、minimum age when concrete is strong enough to withstand damage during removal, because the strength atany age depends on the curing history and strength grade of the concrete. If time permits, the concrete should not be removed before it is 14 days old.If this is not practicable, removal of concrete
33、 can proceed if the cut surfaces do not display erosion of the mortar and the exposed coarse aggregate particlesare embedded firmly in the mortar. In-place test methods may be used to estimate the level of strength development prior to attempting removal ofconcrete samples.5.1.2 Except as provided i
34、n 5.1.3, cores containing embedded reinforcement, excluding fibers, or other embedded objects shallnot be used for determining strength of concrete.3 Neville, A., “Core Tests: Easy to Perform, Not Easy to Interpret,” Concrete International, Vol 23, No. 11, November 2001, pp. 5968.4 “Guide for Obtain

36、MI 48333,www.concrete.org.C42/C42M 1825.1.3 If it is not possible to prepare a test specimen that meets the requirements of 7.1 and 7.2 and that is free of embeddedreinforcement or other metal, the specifier of the tests is permitted to allow testing of cores with embedded metal (see Note 8).If a co
37、re tested for strength contains embedded metal, the size, shape, and location of the metal within the core shall be documentedin the test report.NOTE 8The presence of steel reinforcement, other than fibers, or other embedded metal in a core can affect the measured strength.6,7 There areinsufficient
38、data to derive reliable correction factors that can be applied to the measured strength to account for embedded reinforcement perpendicularto the core axis. If testing of cores containing embedded reinforcement is permitted, engineering judgment is required to assess the significance of theresults.
39、The specifier of the tests should not permit a core to be tested for strength if bar reinforcement, or other elongated embedded metal object, isoriented close to parallel to the core axis.5.2 Core DrillingWhen a core will be tested to measure concrete strength, the core shall be drilled perpendicula
40、r to the surfaceand at least 150 mm 6 in. away from formed joints or obvious edges of a unit of deposit (see Note 9). This minimum distancedoes not apply to the formed boundaries of structural members. Record the approximate angle between the longitudinal axis ofthe drilled core and the horizontal p
41、lane of the concrete as placed. A specimen drilled perpendicular to a vertical surface, orperpendicular to a sloping surface, shall be taken from near the middle of a unit of deposit when possible. If cores are obtainedfor purposes other than determination of strength, drill cores in accordance with
42、 the instructions provided by the specifier of thetests. Record the date core was drilled. If known, record the date when concrete was placed.NOTE 9The intent is to avoid drilling cores in non-representative concrete that may exist near formed joints or the boundary of a unit of placement.5.3 Slab R
43、emovalRemove a slab sufficiently large to secure the desired test specimens without the inclusion of any concretethat has been cracked, spalled, undercut, or otherwise damaged.DRILLED CORES6. Measuring the Length of Drilled Cores6.1 Cores for determining the thickness of pavements, slabs, walls or o
44、ther structural elements shall have a diameter of at least94 mm 3.70 in. when the lengths of such cores are stipulated to be measured in accordance with Test Method C174/C174M.When core length for determining the thickness of a member is not required to be measured in accordance with Test MethodC174
45、/C174M, core diameter shall be as directed by specifier of tests.6.2 For cores that are not intended for determining structural dimensions, measure the longest and shortest lengths on the cutsurface along lines parallel to the core axis. Record the average length to the nearest 5 mm 14 in.7. Cores f
46、or Compressive Strength7.1 Diameter:7.1.1 Except as provided in 7.1.2, the diameter of core specimens for the determination of compressive strength shall be at least94 mm 3.70 in. or at least two times the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate, whichever is larger.7.1.2 If limited member thic
47、kness makes it impossible to obtain cores with length-diameter ratio (L/D) of at least 1.0 or if cleardistance between reinforcement is limited, core diameters less than 94 mm 3.70 in. are not prohibited. If a core diameter less than94 mm 3.70 in. is used, report the reason.NOTE 10The compressive st
48、rengths of nominal 50-mm 2-in. diameter cores are known to be somewhat lower and more variable than those ofnominal 100-mm 4-in. diameter cores. In addition, smaller diameter cores appear to be more sensitive to the effect of the length-diameter ratio.87.2 Length7.2.1 Except as provided in 7.2.2, th
49、e preferred length of the capped or ground specimen is between 1.9 and 2.1 times thediameter. If the ratio of the length to the diameter (L/D) of the core exceeds 2.1, reduce the length of the core so that the ratio ofthe capped or ground specimen is between 1.9 and 2.1. Core specimens with length-diameter ratios equal to or less than 1.75require corrections to the measured compressive strength (see 7.9.1). A strength correction factor is not required for L/D greaterthan 1.75.Acore having a maximum length of less than 95 % of its diameter before ca
