AS 1012.14:2018 PDF Download

AS 1012.14:2018 is a standard that specifies the procedures for securing, preparing, and testing cylindrical core specimens from hardened concrete. The purpose of this testing is to determine both the compressive strength and mass per unit volume of the concrete. It is important to note that the interpretation of the test results in order to estimate the strength of a structure or part of it is discussed in Appendix A of the standard.

The standard provides guidance on the necessary steps and requirements for obtaining accurate and reliable core test results. This includes the proper selection and preparation of core samples from the concrete structure, the securing of the cores to ensure stability during testing, and the testing procedure itself.
