An Investigation of Strength Properties of Concrete Core Samples Obtained in Different Heights and Lines
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Concrete is a composite building material wich has a high usage area. The quality and properties of the concrete material produced may vary according to the type of application and the application area. Especially it is important to examine these changes of the concrete used in the bearing elements. For this purpose, in this study, concrete core specimens were taken in vertical and horizontal directions from different height points of the concrete columns produced in 40x40x250 cm dimensions. Ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength measurements were performed on cored specimens. The obtained data are compared with each other and the regions with the highest and lowest values of strength are determined and the strength loss is expressed as a percentage. The highest strength values were observed in the samples taken in the lower region and in the vertical direction.
