ACI Singapore Chapter Presentation - Low Compressive Strength Test Results
2023-09-22 20:00 - 21:00
Presenter: William J. Gold, P.E., Senior Engineer – American Concrete InstituteHosted by the ACI Singapore Chapter

Compressive strength tests are used for concrete acceptance based on criteria defined in ACI 318 and ACI 301. Tests results not meeting these criteria are referred to as low strengths. This presentation covers the “low strengths” topic in detail and provides answers to questions such as: what is considered a strength test and what is not, what the minimum frequency of testing is, what the acceptance criteria for strength tests are, and how to investigate strength tests not meeting the acceptance requirements. In addition, steps needed by a concrete supplier, in case acceptance criteria are not met, will also be discussed. To better understand discussed concepts, the presentation will use statistical concepts and numerical examples. A list of reading resources will be provided for those interested to study it in more detail. Topics covered in this presentation include:

Definitions related to strength testing

Methods of sampling, fabrication, handling and curing strength test specimens

Acceptance criteria for strength tests

Interpretation of strength test results not meeting acceptance requirements

Investigation of non-compliant concrete

Addressing low strength concrete issues in production

EVALUATION OF CONCRETE CORES TEST RESULTS ACCORDING TO ACI 318-19

This presentation by Luke Snell, P.E. and Honorary Member of ACI will take us step-by-step step through the process of how to evaluate concrete cores test results in accordance with ACI 318-19, “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary.” When concrete compressive strengths are in question, everyone involved is on edge. Topics that will be discussed include determining when coring is needed, who selects the core locations, the number of cores required, the size of the cores required, and what is the acceptance criteria per ACI 318-19. Snell will discuss the actions that are taken if a single core or multiple cores are below the acceptance criteria.

Identify the compressive strength acceptance criteria in ACI 318-19.Explain when coring is needed and who selects the core locations.Identify the number and size of concrete cores when evaluating strength in accordance with ACI 318-19.Describe actions taken when one or more cores are below the acceptance criteria.
