How does the presence of rebar affect the concrete coring process?
Concrete coring is a crucial process in the construction and civil engineering industries that can be employed for various purposes, including making openings for plumbing and electrical conduits and for testing the integrity of structures that are already in place. In fact, most of the concrete coring processes are influenced by the rebar-steel reinforcing bars-buried inside the concrete. This article explains how rebar affects concrete coring, its associated challenges, and the best ways of employing the concrete coring service effectively. What is Concrete Coring? Concrete coring is the process through which cylindrical holes are generated in concrete structures using specialized equipment. The process is important since core samples are derived to determine the quality and strength of the concrete. The samples can also be taken to test for contaminants or to examine the internal structure of the concrete. How does concrete coring impact the structural integrity of a...
