| Abstract | Through a critical and in-depth study, this report focuses on low strength concrete and its behavior during drilling and after extraction. And it also focuses on the effect of armature and base geometry on the compressive strength of low strength concrete cores. In this research, British Method was used for the design of concrete mixtures. The research involves 10 em of core diameter, aspect ratio (between 1 and 2), fine aggregates (without crushing) and thick (crushed), 9 mm theft bar and focusing on concrete grades of 15 MPa. 36 cores were prepared and tested. The results indicate that the strength of the core is reduced with increasing aspect ratio, the presence of reinforcing steel and the reduction of concrete strength while vertical cutting to the casting direction. Based on the experimental evidence throughout this study, a statistical analysis was performed to determine the reliable force correction factors representing the variables studied. |
