Compressive and Tensile Strength of Two-Stage Concrete
An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the compressive, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of two-stage concrete (TSC) at different water-to-cement ratios. The primary objectives were to measure the elastic modulus, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of TSC and to determine if there is a quantifiable relationship between compressive and tensile strength. Behavior of TSC in compression has been well documented, but there are little published data on its behavior in tension and modulus of elasticity. This paper presents the experimental results of preplaced, crushed granite aggregate concreted with five different mortar mixture proportions. A total of 48 concrete cylinders were tested in unconfined compression modulus of elasticity and splitting tension at 28 and 90 days. It was found that the modulus of elasticity and splitting tensile strength of two-stage concrete is equivalent or higher than that of conventional concrete at the same compressive strength. Splitting tensile strength can be conservatively estimated using the ACI equation for conventional concrete.
