Abstract:
Seventy-nine 10 x 10 x 55-cm prisms for triaxial compression-compression-tension specimens were tested. The tests were taken in a special device containing two compression testing apparati to exert lateral compressive loadings and an ordinary universal material-testing machine to exert longitudinal tensile loading. One 3 mm fluorine-based resin sheet was used as a friction-reducing pad. Test results of strength and stress-strain relationships were analyzed and formulas of concrete strength are suggested. Failure modes of specimens are also described.
