Core Cutting Test For Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC)
The Core Cutting Test for Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) involves drilling cylindrical cores from a pavement using a diamond core cutter. These cores are then tested for compressive strength, density, and visual defects to assess the quality of the in-situ concrete. The results guide decisions on maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation of the pavement, contributing to its longevity and safety.
