Testing Concrete in Structures - Part 1: Cored Specimens - Taking, Examining and Testing in Compression
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12504-1 standard provides guidelines for the testing of concrete cores in compression. The standard outlines a method for extracting cores from hardened concrete, as well as the examination, preparation, and testing of these cores to determine their compressive strength.
It is important to note that the standard does not provide guidance on the decision to drill cores or the specific locations for drilling. These factors are left to the discretion of the user. Additionally, the standard does not offer procedures for interpreting the results of the core strength tests.
For the assessment of in situ compressive strength in structures and precast concrete components, the EN 13791 standard may be used as a complementary resource. This implies that the DIN EN 12504-1 standard is intended for the initial testing and evaluation of cores, while the EN 13791 standard may be used for further analysis and assessment of compressive strength in actual structures.
