Concrete cores can be inspected for condition and used for measurements and laboratory testing, including core length and compressive strength. When a core extends through the full depth of a slab or concrete element, its length may also provide information about constructed thickness. Density may be evaluated using an appropriate hardened-concrete density test. Core strength results can be affected by specimen dimensions, moisture condition, sampling location, orientation, and testing procedures, so the findings are typically evaluated together with construction records, test data, and field observations.
Post-tensioning applies prestressing force to concrete by stressing tendons after the concrete has reached the specified strength or age. Concrete-related evaluation may address material condition, cracking, placement, and construction observations, depending on the scope of the investigation. Questions involving tendon design, stressing forces and elongations, load paths, structural capacity, anchorage design, or the overall performance of the post-tensioned system may require structural or post-tensioning engineering analysis.
Concrete slab disputes can involve cracking, curling, surface irregularities, thickness, joints, finish quality, moisture-related conditions, or differences between specified and constructed elevations. Relevant evidence may include slab plans, concrete mixture and placement records, elevation or level surveys, test results, photographs, and site observations. Conditions involving foundation movement, supporting soils, structural behavior, floor coverings, coatings, or finished flooring systems may also require evaluation within those specific technical disciplines.
