Concept explainers
Three 6 in. × 12 in. concrete cylinders with randomly oriented steel fiber contents of 0, 2, and 3% by weight, respectively. After curing for 28 days, the specimens were subjected to increments of compressive loads until failure. The load versus deformation results were as shown in Table P11.15.
Assuming that the gauge length is the whole specimen height, determine the following:
a. The compressive stresses and strains for each specimen at each load increment.
b. Plot stresses versus strains for all specimens on one graph.
c. The modulus of elasticity for each specimen.
d. The ultimate strength for each specimen.
e. The strain at failure for each specimen.
f. Toughness. Curves may be approximated with a series of straight lines.
g. Comment on the effects of increasing the fiber content on the following:
i. Modulus of elasticity
ii. Ultimate strength
iii. Ductility
iv. Toughness

- A cylindrical brass specimen having a diameter of 1.10 cm and initial gage length of 4.04 cm is subjected to tensile strength test. The load-deformation values are given in the below table. The final length and final diameter of the specimen were measured as 4.33 cm and 0.92 cm, respectively. Complete the below table and plot true stress-true strain diagram and determine. Yield strength at 0.2 % off-set method. Poisson’s ratio of the material at 135 kN load (assume that there is no volume change) If the material were unloaded from 175 kN, what would be its final length? 1 nm=1*10-9 m, 1 0A=10-10 marrow_forwardWhen a specimen of M25 concrete is loaded to a stress level of 12.5 MPa, a strain of 500x10^-6 is recorded. If this load is allowed to stand for a long time, the strain increases to 1000 x 10^-6. In accordance with provisions of IS: 456-2000,considering the long-term effects, the effective modulus of elasticity of the concrete (in MPa) isarrow_forwardA 300mm long cylindrical concrete specimen was tested for tensile strength.
