Reducing the Specimen Size of Concrete Flexural Strength Test for Safety and Ease of Handling
The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has released a technical brief that analyzes the feasibility of reducing specimen sizes for flexural strength testing. Flexural strength is measured by applying load to an unreinforced concrete beam with the intention of inducing failure. The goal of this study is to make testing flexural strength easier to conduct by reducing geometry and associated mass.
