Mass concrete cold joints standard

Mass concrete cold joints standard

Mass concrete cold joints standard

(OP)
I'm interested in standards to evaluate the acceptance of cold joints in masive concrete, poured to support a turbine-compressor, or similar literature or methods to evaluate the existance of a cold joint in this type of structure.

The case is that when the forming was removed there was apparently a cold joint in the structure, i'm not sure because the lap of time between one poured and another was less than one Our.

RE: Mass concrete cold joints standard

I dont have standards references.
Possible evaluation might include coring of the joint zone.
Remediation may be done by pressure grouting in alternate zones along the joint.
