DOUBLE-PUNCH TEST AND TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

THE FORMULA FOR COMPUTING THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE FOR THE SPLIT CYLINDER TEST WAS FIRST DERIVED USING THE THEORY OF LINEAR ELASTICITY. AN IDENTICAL FORMULA WAS DERIVED RECENTLY USING THE THEORY OF PERFECT PLASTICITY. AS A RESULT, A NEW TENSION TEST, THE DOUBLE-PUNCH TEST, WAS PROPOSED. THE DOUBLE-PUNCH TEST WAS EXAMINE EXPERIMENTALLY, AND THE EFFECTS OF SEVERAL PARAMETERS WERE INVESTIGATED. FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE EFFECTS OF THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES, AND FROM A COMPARISON WITH THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE AS DETERMINED BY THE SPLIT CYLINDER TEST, A METHOD FOR PERFORMING THE DOUBLE-PUNCH TEST FOR OBTAINING THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE WAS PROPOSED. /AUTHOR/
