Failure modes in reinforced concrete beams are classified into two major types: flexural failure and shear failure. The former occurs when the imposed load exceeds the flexural capacity of the materials of the beam, while the latter occurs due to deficiency in shear resistance between different materials of the beam.
Flexural test evaluates the tensile strength of concrete indirectly. It tests the ability of unreinforced concrete beam or slab to withstand failure in bending. The results of flexural test on concrete expressed as a …
The compressive Strength of the concrete cube test provides information on all concrete properties. This single test determines whether or not the concreting was done correctly. Concrete compressive …
Accurate analysis of the strength of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is important for ensuring construction quality and safety. Cube compression and splitting tensile tests of steel fiber with different varieties, lengths, and dosages were performed, and the effects of different varieties, lengths, and dosages on the compressive and splitting …
The cubes almost maintain the same original shape; thus, this type of failure is categorized as crushing failure. Figure 5 shows the two different modes of failure in cubes for the four different ...
There might be various reasons for a cube test failure apart from the inadequate strength of concrete mix. There are situations, where the cube test results show non conformity even though the concrete is …
Types of failures in reinforced concrete buildings such as failure due to poor concrete quality, reinforcement corrosion, failure of foundations due to soil etc. with case studies are discussed. In small residential buildings the quality of construction is seldom questionable. The reason varies from poor building material quality to lack of ...
The cube specimens are also short, hence the stress state and failure pattern are closer to those for cylinders with small L / D. In this study, for plain HSC, the same failure ...
Compression Test of the Concrete Specimen is most widely used test to measure its compressive strength. Two types of concrete specimen: Cubes & Cylinders are used for this purpose: Cubes of size 150mm are more common in Asia, Russia & European countries while Cylinders of 150mm in diameter & 300mm high are common in U.S and …
The invention of reinforced concrete revolutionized the construction industry, and concrete became one of the world's most common building materials. ...
This paper attempts to promote the use of advanced concrete. models by (a) providing an ov erview of required tests and data preparation. techniques; and (b) making a comprehensive set of concrete ...
Do you have a puzzle appetite that needs satisfying? We've got you covered with this guide to the different types of Rubik's cubes.
The determination of cube strength is the most common and simple approach for evaluating the concrete strength during the construction of new buildings; however, the absence of cube results or the doubt on the results may raise a critical situations. Furthermore, during the rehabilitation of existing structures, another approach for …
To determine compressive strength of the concrete cube using Cube testing Machine (CTM). Concrete compressive strength varies with age of concrete cube. Its 50% in 3 days, 66% in 7 days, 90% in 15 days and in 28days. So knowing age of the concrete is important.
All the specimens were cast from the same batch of C30 mixed concrete. The standard plain concrete cube samples with the size of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm were also made together with the RC columns in order to obtain the uniaxial compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the used concrete.
In order to get a relatively quicker idea of the quality of concrete, optional test for 7 days compressive strength of concrete be carried out. 6 Cubes of 150 x 150 x 150 mm size (the nominal size of aggregate does not exceed 38 mm) shall be cast, 3 for 7-days testing and 3 for 28-days testing. A set of.

Unfortunately, the studies of one-dimensional impact tests on cubic concrete specimens are extremely limited. Previous experimental study has demonstrated that changing the shape of specimens from cylinder to cube results in different failure modes and lower dynamic compressive strengths [ 27 ].
The split test, also known as the Brazilian split test, is a widely used method for indirect determination of the tensile strength of concrete. The test is usually conducted on specimens of the same type used for test of compressive strength, i.e. cylinders or cubes as shown in Fig. 1. Normally, the loads P are applied over narrow widths, 2 a, in …
There are many potential reasons for concrete cube failures at construction projects in India. Cube failures can occur before casting due to issues with moulds, materials, or mixed concrete quality. During casting, improper tamping, vibration, personnel, or procedure can cause failures. After casting, improper handling, curing tank conditions, …
The type of failure should be observed by consulting the wall chart, anything abnormal recorded in the register, and all details entered on the related form in the cube description file.
In order to get a relatively quicker idea of the quality of concrete, optional test for 7 days compressive strength of concrete be carried out. 6 Cubes of 150 x 150 x 150 mm size (the nominal size of aggregate does not …

Different factors cause the failure of concrete structure such as errors from design stage to construction stage and to occupancy. The main causes of failure of concrete structures are discussed.
A concrete failure due to shortage in shear resistance is the most serious type of failure because shear failures are preceded by little, if any, deflections or cracking to give advance warning.
This test is performed in the laboratory to determine if the strength of concrete meets specification requirements. It is used as an indication of the potential of the materials used in a structure. Specimens are typically prepared in the field and fabricated in accordance with ASTM C 31 (AASHTO T 23).
The BPD modeling is verified by three application examples, i.e., a uniaxial tension and compression test of concrete specimens, a plain round steel bar pull-out test and a pushover analysis of an ...
Uni-axial compression test has been the general way to evaluate the strength of bulk materials, especially brittle materials, for decades. In the field of concrete or rock mechanics, compression strength is one of the most significant engineering characteristics. By observing the compression test of a cubic specimen, the most severe compression …
Concrete structures, such as airports, pavements, industrial floors and so on are prone to sudden, excessive and adverse loading conditions. This has become a major topic of interest for many researchers in recent years. An experimental investigation on evaluating the impact resistance of concrete is carried out as per ACI 544. 2R using …
In this blog, we delve into the significance of concrete cube testing, the procedures, and its importance in maintaining construction quality standards.
