ASTM C174/C174M-17 PDF Download

The ASTM C174/C174M-17 standard is a method used to determine the thickness of concrete construction, such as pavements and slab structures. This test method is essential in assessing whether the concrete construction complies with the specified design requirements. At least one end of the core must be a finished or formed surface to obtain accurate measurements.

This test method involves the drilling of cores from the concrete elements under inspection. The cores are extracted and then the thickness of the concrete element is determined based on these drilled cores. The standard provides guidelines on how to carry out the drilling and measurement procedures.

By utilizing this standard, engineers and inspectors can effectively assess the thickness of concrete elements, ensuring that they meet the required specifications and design criteria. This information is crucial for evaluating the structural integrity and durability of concrete constructions.
