Testing of concrete slab
Testing of concrete slab
(OP)
I have an existing building and no accurate structural drawings from the time it was built (mid 1960s). I am looking to find out the f'c of the slab, but the slab is only 3" thick, which means for very squat test samples. Is there a way to test the concrete to find the f'c with samples that are so small?
Also, I'm looking to find the f'm for existing masonry in the same building. Are there tests out there to take an existing block and find its f'm?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
