Testing cores is similar to testing cylinders, but there's a correction factor for cores with aspect ratios significantly less than 2.0. ACI 318 has two criteria for determining the acceptability of the concrete: The average strength of three cores is at least 0.85 fc'. No single core strength is less than 0.75 fc'.Web

Loo et al (1989) had studied the effect of embedded reinforcement on measured strength of concrete cylinders. The reduction in compressive strength due to embedded steel, which was found in cylinders with an L/d ratio of 2.0, seems diminishing with decreasing L/d ratio [3]. Bartlett (1997) had predicted a two-step method.Web

The compressive strength of a given core sample is equal to the compressive strength in the middle of its height, and therefore, in order to determine the compressive strength of core samples with a diameter of 100 mm, the tests need to be performed at a distance of no less than 50 mm. If the core sample has a diameter of 50 …Web
