INFLUENCE OF THE SLENDERNESS OF THE TEST CYLINDERS AND PRISMS ON THE DIRECT TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

TO DETERMINE THE INFLUENCE OF THE SLENDERNESS OF TEST SPECIMENS ON THE DIRECT TENSILE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE, THE BUILDING RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE UNDERTOOK A COMPREHENSIVE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDED BY THE DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF SUITABLE TESTING EQUIPMENT AND THE ELABORATION OF AN APPROPRIATE TEST METHOD. THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES THE PREPARATION OF THE TEST SPECIMENS (CYLINDERS AND PRISMS), THE QUALITY OF THE TWO GRADES OF CONCRETE (RIVER PEBBLES AND GRANULATED AGGREGATE) USED, AND THE TEST RESULTS. /TRRL/
