from the structure. Five cores (4 in. in diameter and 6 in. long) without reinforcing bars were obtained
from a structure near the UCD campus (many concrete batches were used for this structure). The
individual core strengths (air-dried) were 5950, 5850, 5740, 5420, and 4830 psi. Determine the
equivalent specified strength of the concrete using ASTM C42 (Standard test method for obtaining and
testing drilled cores and sawed beams of concrete).
