Abstract:

Concrete has been in use for over 2,000 years, yet the behavior of this common, but complex, substance is not fully understood. This gap affects standard compressive strength testing (ASTM C 39), which does not account for structural effects caused by sample geometry, size of contact surface, and intensity of surface friction at the compression interface. To assess the true compressive strength of concrete and to study the natural crack propagation within concrete materials, the conventional test method must be modified to reduce or eliminate structural effects
