Notes:1. Per ASTM C42, test samples were wet saw-cut and then sealed in bag for at least 5 days prior to testing.2. Per Section 7.1, the preferred minimum core diameter is three times the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate, but it should be at least two times the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate.3. Cores were taken from the top surface of arch ribs at approximately the 1/4 points of the arches. The core axes are transverse to the axis of the arches.4. This report represents specifically the samples submitted.5. This report may not be reproduced except in its entirety.

Section 7: Cores for Compressive Strength
Schematic of Typical Fracture Patterns
< 1 in. [25 mm]
Type 1Reasonable well-formed cones on both ends, less
than 1 in. [25 mm] of cracking through caps
Type 2Well-formed cone on one end, vertical cracks running through caps, no well-defined cone on
other end
Type 3Columnar vertical cracking through both ends, no well-
formed cones
Type 4Diagonal fracture with no
cracking through ends; tap with hammer to distinguish
from Type I
Type 5Side fractures at top or
bottom (occur commonly with unbonded caps)
Type 6Similar to Type 5 but end of
cylinder is pointed
