Work Method of Core Drill – SNI 03 – 2492 -2002

1 . This test method covers the determination of the thickness of a concrete pavement, slab, or structural
element by measuring the length of a core drilled from a concrete structure.
2. Preparation for PPE

3. take the core concrete test sample there is work consisting of:
a) core concrete drilling,
b) core concrete taking and drilling holes,
c) inspection of core concrete
d) measurement of the length of the core concrete for determination cannot be used,
e) as a test object,
f) core concrete marking
g) delivery of Concrete core to laboratories examiners with retrieval reports Concrete core test sample.

4 Core concrete extraction
4.1 Comparison of the maximum aggregate size in concrete to the diameter of the core concrete shall
be greater than 1: 3, or the diameter of the core concrete specimen for the compressive strength test
specimen shall be more than three times the maximum nominal size and coarse aggregate in hard
concrete. The concrete specimen that will be used for strength testing must be taken from generally
hard concrete should not be less than 14 days. Before deciding to do core concrete drilling, it is
necessary first consider the purpose of testing and interpreting the data.

4.2 The structural implications of the results from the previous core concrete extraction must be
considered, and the core concrete must be taken:
a) at distant points and joints and edges of structural elements than at places - little or no
reinforcement.
b) perpendicular to the components of the concrete structure in a horizontal / vertical position,
must be is chosen in a place where it is not allowed to harm the structure, that is, it is not
allowed too close to the connection.

11
4.3 Drilling
If not specified, the core concrete drilling shall be perpendicular to such a surface such that it does
not damage the core concrete. The position of the drill tool must be kept so that it does not
change position or rock during drilling.

4.4 Length of core concrete

In determining the core concrete profile to be taken for the compressive strength test, it must be
take into account:
a) the diameter of the core concrete with a minimum size of 100 mm,
b) measurement of core concrete, according to ASTM C 174 test method
c) the comparison factor needs to be determined, whether against the compressive strength
of the cube or against cylinder compressive strength.
5 Examination
5.1 Visual observation
Visual inspection and core concrete specimens are carried out to identify their presence
abnormalities. The specimen is defective because there are too many cavities in the presence of
shale / coarse aggregate loose reinforcement, loose reinforcement and dimensional irregularities,
should not be used for compressive strength test.

12
5.2 Measurement
Measurements are made as follows:
a) core concrete diameter (cm), measured to an accuracy of 1%, averaging two measurements,
each at the center point and the quarter point of the core length direction.
b) the maximum and minimum length of core concrete, measured to the accuracy of 1% and
the accepted test object, and the length of the specimen after final preparation.
c) the diameter and each reinforcement and its position are determined from the center of the
rod that appears to the ends and / or the axis of the core concrete, both in the condition
when it is received and when it is prepared. Measurements are made to an accuracy of
1mm. All measurements must be recorded.

5.3 Preparation for core concrete testing

5.3.1 General The ends of the core concrete must be prepared for the purposes of the compressive
strength test as follows:
a. The compressed surface of the specimen must be flat and perpendicular to the axis of the object test,
b. If the conditions cannot be met, the surface of the compressed plane and the test object must be
leveled with a concrete sawing machine or grained, so that it meets the following conditions:
i. the deviation of the flat surface of the compressed plane shall not be more than 1mm against
the end surface of the specimen,
ii. the deviation of the surface of the compressive plane with respect to the axis the test object
should not be more than 50,
iii. the deviation of the compressed plane notching diameter shall not be more than 1 mm to the
diameter of the specimen.

13
5.3.2 Comparison of length to diameter A more precise ratio of length to diameter is
a. 2.0 if the compressive strength produced is compared to the compressive strength of the
cylinder,
b. 1.0 if the compressive strength is compared to the compressive strength of the cube.
5.3.3 Tolerance The test object is prepared with the following tolerances:
a. tolerances for flatness of the end surface prepared by means of grinding or the Capping
method, using high or thin aluminum cement according to ASTM C 617,
b. to ensure clogging, tolerance for flatness of the surface of the finished end part be
prepared, must comply with applicable standards,
c. for straightness, the tolerance to the axes must be a maximum of 3% and the average
diameter of the core concrete.
6 compressive test
6.1 Storage
The storage conditions for the specimens shall be noted. Before being tested, if needed, the specimen is
inside saturated state, soak in water at a temperature of (23 ± 2) 0 C for at least 40 hours.

14
6.2 Testing
The test must be carried out in accordance with SNI 03-1974-1990 Compressive Strength Testing
Method Concrete. The core concrete shall not be tested in a cracked state, or if it is stripped of the
cap. Clean the surface of the test object and sand and other debris. If the test object is to be tested
still wet, dry the surface. Note the condition of the surface when tested. (Wet or dry)
7. Result
The compressive strength of the specimen is determined by dividing the maximum load by the
cross-sectional area calculated and the average diameter and the result is expressed to the
accuracy of 0.5 MPa or 0.5 N / mm2 Refer SNI 2847 2013
