AASHTO T 177

Abstract

Scope: This method covers the determination of the flexural strength of concrete specimens by the use of a simple beam with center-point loading. It is not an alternative to T 97. The values stated in SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
