| Abstract | This report is to test the compressive strength by the effect of coring. To compare with the compressive strength of core specimens between the presence of reinforcement steel and non-reinforcement. To compare the compressive strength between standard cylinders and cored specimens. To compare the aspect ratio 1 and 2. To study the wall thickness of the concrete blocks. A single 35MPa of concrete mixture is used throughout the experimental program. The setting time of the concrete is 14 days. The concrete cure with water for 7 days, according to the standard. Two samples for the presence of a single 9mm reinforce- ment steel bar in vertical and in center, with maximum 20mm of coarse aggregates with the aspect ratio (lid) of 1: 1 and 1 :2. Total 36 samples are cored in this test. Cored specimen hav- ing reinforcement steel bar is lower strength than non-reinforcement. Cylinder have higher strength than cored strength. Aspect ratio 1 have higher strength than aspect ratio 2. As the thickness of the wall increase, the strength become higher. |
