Significance and Use3.1 This test method is

7、 used to determine the modulus ofrupture of specimens prepared and cured in accordance withPractices C 31 or C 192. The strength determined will varywhere there are differences in specimen size, preparation,moisture condition, or curing.3.2 The results of this test method may be used to determinecom

This test method producesvalues of flexural strength significantly higher than TestMethod C78(Note 1).NOTE 1The testing laboratory performing this test method may beevaluated in accordance with Practice C 10

9、77.4. Apparatus4.1 The testing machine shall conform to the requirementsof the sections on Basis of Verification, Corrections, and TimeInterval Between Verifications of Practices E4. Hand operatedtesting machines having pumps that do not provide a continu-ous loading to failure in one stroke are not

10、 permitted. Motor-ized pumps or hand operated positive displacement pumpshaving sufficient volume in one continuous stroke to completea test without requiring replenishment are permitted and shallbe capable of applying loads at a uniform rate without shock orinterruption.4.2 Loading ApparatusThe mec

11、hanism by which forcesare applied to the specimen shall employ a load-applying blockand two specimen support blocks. It shall ensure that all forcesare applied perpendicular to the face of the specimen withouteccentricity. A diagram of an apparatus that accomplishes thispurpose is shown in Fig. 1.4.

12、2.1 All apparatus for making center-point loading flexuretests shall be similar to Fig. 1 and maintain the span length andcentral position of the load-applying block with respect to thesupport blocks constant within 60.05 in.

The anglesubtended by the curved surface of each block shall be at least45 (0.79 rad). The load-applyi

18、ng and support blocks shall bemaintained in a vertical position and in contact with the rod orball by means of spring-loaded screws that hold them incontact with the pivot rod or ball. The rod in the centerload-applying block in Fig. 1 may be omitted when a spheri-cally seated bearing block is used.

19、5. Test Specimen5.1 The test specimen shall conform to all requirements ofPractice C 31 or C 192 applicable to beam specimens and shallhave a test span within 2 % of being three times its depth astested. The sides of the specimen shall be at right angles withthe top and bottom. All surfaces shall be

20、 smooth and free ofscars, indentations, holes, or inscribed identification marks.6. Procedure6.1 Flexural tests of moist-cured specimens shall be made assoon as practical after removal from moist storage. Surfacedrying of the specimen results in a reduction in the measuredmodulus of rupture.6.2 Turn

21、 the test specimen on its side with respect to itsposition as molded and center it on the support blocks. Centerthe loading system in relation to the applied force. Bring theload-applying block in contact with the surface of the specimenat the center and apply a load of between 3 and 6 % of theestim

22、ated ultimate load. Using 0.004 in. (0.10 mm) and 0.015in. (0.38 mm) leaf-type feeler gages, determine whether anygap between the specimen and the load-applying or supportblocks is greater or less than each of the gages over a length of1 in. (25 mm) or more. Grind, cap, or use leather shims on thesp

23、ecimen contact surface to eliminate any gap in excess of0.004 in. (0.10 mm). Leather shims shall be of uniform14 in.(6.4 mm) thickness, 1 to 2 in. (25 to 50 mm) in width, and shallextend across the full width of the specimen. Gaps in excess of0.015 in. (0.38 mm) shall be eliminated only by capping o

24、rgrinding. Grinding of lateral surfaces shall be minimizedinasmuch as grinding may change the physical characteristicsof the specimens. Capping shall be in accordance with PracticeC 617.6.3 Load the specimen continuously and without shock. Theload shall be applied at a constant rate to the breaking

25、point.Apply the load so that the maximum stress on the tension faceincreases at a rate between 125 and 175 psi/min (0.9 and 1.2MPa/min). The loading rate is computed using:r 5 2Sbd2/3L (1)where:r = loading rate, lb/min (N/min),S = rate of increase in the maximum stress on the tensionface, psi/min (M

26、Pa/min),b = average width of the specimen as oriented for testing,in. (mm),d = average depth of the specimen as oriented for testing,in. (mm), andL = span length, in. (mm).7. Measurement of Specimens After Test7.1 To determine the dimensions of the specimen sectionfor use in calculating modulus of r

27、upture, take measurementsacross one of the fractured faces after testing. The width anddepth are measured with the specimen as oriented for testing.For each dimension, take one measurement at each edge andone at the center of the cross section. Use the three measure-ments for each direction to deter

28、mine the average width and theaverage depth. Take all measurements to the nearest 0.05 in. (1mm). If the fracture occurs at a capped section, include the capthickness in the measurement.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the modulus of rupture as follows:R 5 3 PL/2bd2(2)where:R = modulus of rupture, psi, o

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe coefficient of variation of test resultshas been observed to be dependent on the strength level of thebeams.3The single op

33、erator coefficient of variation has beenfound to be 4.4 %. Therefore, results of two properly con-ducted tests by the same operator on beams made from thesame batch sample should not differ from each other by morethan 12 %. The multilaboratory coefficient of variation hasbeen found to be 5.3 %. Ther

34、efore, results of two differentlaboratories on beams made from the same batch sampleshould not differ from each other by more than 15 %.10.2 BiasSince there is no accepted standard for deter-mining bias in this test method, no statement on bias is made.11.
