The testing machine shall be equipped with a meansof recording or holding the peak value that will indicate the maximum load applied

16、to the specimen during a test, to within 1 %accuracy of the load being applied.4.2 Loading ApparatusThe mechanism by which forces are applied to the specimen shall employ a load-applying block andtwo specimen support blocks. It shall ensure that all forces are applied perpendicular to the face of th

17、e specimen withouteccentricity. A diagram of an apparatus that accomplishes this purpose is shown in Fig. 1.4.2.1 All apparatus for making center-point loading flexure tests shall be similar to Fig. 1 and maintain the span length andcentral position of the load-applying block with respect to the sup

The angle subtended by the curved surfaceof each block shall be at least 0.80 rad 45. The load-applying and support blocks shall be

21、 maintained in a vertical position andin contact with the rod or ball by means of spring-loaded screws that hold them in contact with the pivot rod or ball.

24、ay be evaluated in accordance with Practice C1077.6. Procedure6.1 Flexural tests of moist-cured specimens shall be made as soon as practical after removal from moist storage. Surface dryingof the specimen results in a reduction in the measured modulus of rupture.6.2 Turn the test specimen on its sid

25、e with respect to its position as molded and center it on the support blocks. Center theloading system in relation to the applied force. Bring the load-applying block in contact with the surface of the specimen at thecenter and apply a load of between 3 and 6 % of the estimated ultimate load. Using

26、0.10 mm 0.004 in. and 0.40 mm 0.015 in.leaf-type feeler gages, determine whether any gap between the specimen and the load-applying or support blocks is greater or lessthan each of the gages over a length of 25 mm 1 in. or more. Grind, cap, or use leather shims on the specimen contact surfaceto elim

27、inate any gap in excess of 0.10 mm 0.004 in. Leather shims shall be of uniform 6 mm 0.25 in. thickness, 25 to 50 mmNOTE 1Apparatus may be used inverted.FIG. 1 Schematic of a Suitable Apparatus for Flexure Test of Concrete by Center-Point Loading Method.C293/C293M 1521.0 to 2.0 in. in width, and shal

Grinding of lateral surfaces shall be minimized inasmuch as grinding may change thephysical characteristics of the specimens. Capping shall be in accordance with applic

29、able sections of Practice C617.6.3 Load the specimen continuously and without shock. The load shall be applied at a constant rate to the breaking point.Applythe load so that the maximum stress on the tension face increases at a rate between 0.9 and 1.2 MPa/min 125 and 175 psi/min.The loading rate is

30、 computed using the following equation:r 52Sbd23L (1)where:r = loading rate, N/min lb/min,S = rate of increase in the maximum stress on the tension face, MPa/min psi/min,b = average width of the specimen as oriented for testing, mm in.,d = average depth of the specimen as oriented for testing, mm in

31、., andL = span length, mm in.7. Measurement of Specimens After Test7.1 To determine the dimensions of the specimen section for use in calculating modulus of rupture, take measurements acrossone of the fractured faces after testing. The width and depth are measured with the specimen as oriented for t

32、esting. For eachdimension, take one measurement at each edge and one at the center of the cross section. Use the three measurements for eachdirection to determine the average width and the average depth. Take all measurements to the nearest 1 mm 0.05 in. If thefracture occurs at a capped section, in

33、clude the cap thickness in the measurement.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the modulus of rupture as follows:R 53 PL2bd2 (2)where:R = modulus of rupture, MPa psi,P = maximum applied load indicated by the testing machine, N lbf,L = span length, mm in.,b = average width of specimen, at the fracture, mm in

34、., andd = average depth of specimen, at the fracture, mm in.NOTE 2The weight of the beam is not included in the above calculation.9.

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe coefficient of variation of test results has been observed to be dependent on the strength level of the beams.The single operator coefficient of variation has been found to be 4

37、.4 %. Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests by thesame operator on beams made from the same batch sample are not expected to differ from each other by more than 12 %. Themultilaboratory coefficient of variation has been found to be 5.3 %. Therefore, results of two different laboratories

38、 on beams madefrom the same batch sample are not expected to differ from each other by more than 15 %.33 See “Improved Concrete Quality Control Procedures Using Third Point Loading” by P. M.
