RESULTS OF TESTS PERFORMED ON 6-INCH-DIAMETER CORES FROM PREPACKED CONCRETE CLEAR CREEK POWERPLANT -- UNITS 1 AND 2 TRINITY POWERPLANT UNIT 2 TRINITY RIVER DIVISION CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT,
Abstract
Conclusions: The prepacked concretes tested are of sufficiently high quality to fulfill the design requirements of these structures. Average compressive strength developed by the cores from Clear Creek Powerplant was 4,260 psi for 13 specimens from Unit 1 and 3,310 psi for 13 specimens from Unit 2. Similar figures obtained from the cores from Trinity Powerplant were 4,090 psi for 7 specimens from Hole 1 and 3,450 psi for 10 specimens from Hole 2. Variations are considerably greater than that expected from conventionally placed concrete. However, inadequate data are available to determine whether or not the wide variation is an inherent property of prepacked concrete. (Author)
