    sample must be properly recorded. Based on the
    depth of recovery, the recovery ratio can be found.
     How deep does core drilling go?
    It depends on the structure. For example, a massive
    structure may require core sampling to be done at a
    depth of up to 2feet. The diameter of a core sample
    should be at least three times the nominal maximum
    size of aggregate. When there is little mortar
