English -- Standard Method of Test for Flexural Strength of Concrete (Using Simple Beam with Third- Point Loading)

Abstract

Scope: This test method covers determination of the flexural strength of concrete by the use of a simple beam with third-point loading. 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. Note 1—For methods of molding concrete specimens, see T 23 and R 39. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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.
