EVALUATION OF CONCRETE CORES TEST RESULTS ACCORDING TO ACI 318-19

This presentation by Luke Snell, P.E. and Honorary Member of ACI will take us step-by-step step through the process of how to evaluate concrete cores test results in accordance with ACI 318-19, “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary.” When concrete compressive strengths are in question, everyone involved is on edge. Topics that will be discussed include determining when coring is needed, who selects the core locations, the number of cores required, the size of the cores required, and what is the acceptance criteria per ACI 318-19. Snell will discuss the actions that are taken if a single core or multiple cores are below the acceptance criteria.

Identify the compressive strength acceptance criteria in ACI 318-19.
Explain when coring is needed and who selects the core locations.
Identify the number and size of concrete cores when evaluating strength in accordance with ACI 318-19.
Describe actions taken when one or more cores are below the acceptance criteria.
