New from ACI: 214.4R-10, Guide for Obtaining Cores and Interpreting Compressive Strength Results
This guide summarizes practices for obtaining cores and interpreting core compressive strength test results. Factors that affect in-place concrete strength are reviewed so sampling locations that are consistent with objectives of the investigation can be selected. Strength correction factors are presented for converting the measured strength of non-standard core-test specimens to the strength of equivalent specimens with standard diameters, length-to-diameter ratios, and moisture conditioning. This guide provides direction for checking strength compliance of concrete in a structure under construction and methods for determining equivalent specified strength to assess capacity of an existing structure.
