Petrographic Analysis of Cores from Plant 42

Abstract

The Concrete and Materials Branch (CMB) of the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory was requested to perform an analysis on concrete core samples extracted from Air Force Plant 42. A total of 13 cores were provided to the CMB which were checked in under CMB Serial Numbers160143-1 to 160143-13. Table 1 lists the cores received with the CMB serial number, original sample identifier, section sample came from, and core length. Each core underwent petrographic examination according to ASTM C-856. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, was performed on a samples to identify material in voids.
