Estimation of Tensile Strength of High Strength Concrete Based on Experimental Results

Article Preview

Abstract:

Use of high strength concrete require reliable predictions of correlations of compressive strength with tensile strength or splitting strength. Analysis of correlation between tensile strength of concrete and compressive strength, based on experimental results, is shown in this paper. It is proposed new simple correlation. Regression analysis that use, is based on the results of the experimental researches of compressive strength and splitting tensile strength, at specimens of high strength concrete. Comparative analysis of test results, gained for high strength concrete and normal strength concrete is performed. Analysis comprises the results of the experimental research of deep beams subjected to shear. Stresses measured on surfaces of high strength concrete beams subjected to shear and level of stresses that induce inclined cracks in concrete are applied. Relationship between concrete compressive strength and shear cracking stresses is studied, too. Experimental research was done at pairs of the beams made of concrete with high compressive strength and normal compressive strength. Estimation of validation of relations prescribed by the design codes for high strength concrete has performed.
