The significance of micro-destructive testing, which can estimate the durability of reinforced concrete structures with minimal damage and high accuracy, in the investigation and diagnosis of reinforced concrete structures has been increasing. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the surface layer of concrete structures via a small-diameter drilling test, which is one of the micro-destructive tests developed to estimate the strength of concrete. Hence, it would be possible to evaluate the quality and strength of concrete simultaneously, which is very important.
In this study, the influence of the bleeding amount which affects the surface quality of concrete on the drilling speed, was experimentally studied, considering the water-cement ratio and unit water content as experimental factors. The influence of bleeding on the drilling speed of the specimen surface was also investigated through measurements at the top and bottom surfaces.
The following points were clarified from the experimental results and their analysis. (1) The drilling speed changes depending on the water-cement ratio and the unit water content. (2) The amount of bleeding affects the drilling speed; however the drilling speed is affected by the volume of the fine aggregate in the specimen. Therefore, (3) there is a possibility that it can be used for surface quality evaluation of concrete by examining in detail the method for calculating and correcting the drilling speed.
