The present paper investigates the influence of dimensions of drilledcores on their compressive strength through testing. In practical engineering,compression tests of drilled cores taken from completed RCstructures are usually conducted to investigate the real concrete strengthand quality. However, because of on-site limitations, the dimensions ofthe drilled cores may not really satisfy code requirements. In this paper, experimental studies are performed to investigate the influence of dimensionsof drilled cores on the compressive strength. Two concrete retainingwalls were placed on-site. After one year, the cores were drilled and test.The diameters of the cores are 5.0 cm, 7.5 cm, 10.0 cm and 15.0 cm withL/D ratio equaling 2. Based on the on-site test results, the proper dimensionsfor the on-site drilled cores are suggested for practical engineering. |
