A general relation between tensile strength and specimen geometry for concrete-like materials
Abstract The tensile strength of concrete-like materials varies wiries when different test procedures or even different shapes and sizes of specimens are employed. Correlations have previously been established but restricted to particular test conditions. The approach here presented, based on the “weakest link of the chain” concepts, offers the possibility of correlating the results of the different tensile tests of concrete-like materials. For that purpose, the amount of material under a tensile stress greater than 0.95 of the maximum tensile stress in the specimen must be evaluated. Relating the maximum tensile stress at the moment of failure with the above mentioned volume (Highly Stressed Volume), a decreasing function is obtained. The function fitted can be used to obtain a tensile strength value of the material, free from the influence of the characteristics of tests and specimens. In this experimental work, the function is established by testing seven different mortar mixes, subjected to nine different test conditions. Centered-point and third-point loading flexural tests and splitting tests were carried out on specimens of different sizes. Direct tension on a briquertte was also applied. The test results showed a decreasing linear regression between the logarithm of the maximum tensile stress at the moment of failure and the logarithm of the highly stressed volume. The slope of that line remained fairly constant for the seven mortar mixes tested.
Résumé Au cours de cette étude on a établi une relation générale entre les différentes résistances en traction des matériaux du type béton qui est basée sur le concept de «weakest link». On a essayé sept mélanges de mortiers dans neuf conditions différentes d'essai de traction: essais de flexion avec charge centrée et charge au tiers central, essai de traction par fendage sur des éprouvettes de différentes dimensions et essais de traction directe. Dans chaque cas, on a évalué le volume de matériau sous une contrainte de traction supérieure à 0,95 de la traction maximale de l'éprouvette (volume de plus grande contrainte). On a obtenu une relation linéaire décroissante entre le logarithme de la contrainte de traction à la rupture et le logarithme du volume de plus grande contrainte, avec une pente qu'on peut considérer comme constante pour les sept mélanges essayés.
