A tension test is being conducted on a steel-rod specimen with a gauge length of L0=2 in and initial diameter of d0=0.5 in. Data were collected to form the conventional stress-strain diagram as shown. From the diagram, f = 74.0 ksi, e = 104.0 ksi , g = 85.0 ksi , and h = 0.15 in/in.
Assuming that the strain remains constant throughout the region between the gauge points, determine the nominal strain ε experienced by the rod if it is elongated to L = 2.7 in .
Assuming that the stress is constant over the cross-sectional area and if the tension force used is P = 11.0 kips, find the nominal stress experienced by the rod.
Determine the force P needed to reach the ultimate stress in the steel-rod specimen.
Using the AASHTO T 283 test, three HMA specimens were freeze–thaw conditioned and three were unconditioned. All the specimens had a diameter of 150 mm. Table shows the thickness and load at failure of each specimen. Determine:a. The tensile strength of each specimen in MPa.b. The average tensile strength of the conditioned and unconditionedspecimens.c. The tensile strength ratio (TSR).d. Does the mix pass the Superpave criteria for moisture susceptibility?
