. A split-tension test was conducted on a concrete cylinder with a 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length. The load that split the cylinder is 268.5 KN. Calculate the splitting tensile strength (fct) of the concrete.
a. A split-tension test was conducted on a concrete cylinder with a 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length. The
load that split the cylinder is 268.5 KN. Calculate the splitting tensile strength (fct) of the concrete.
b.The third-point flexural strength test was conducted on a flexural beam of 150 mm by 150 mm cross section
and 450mm span. The maximum load at failure was 29.2 KN. Calculate the flexural strength of the conc
c. The ultimate tensile strength of geogrid is 270 KN/m, and the combined reduction factor for reinforcement
application is 3.0. Determine the allowable tensile strength.
d.A compacted sample of Asphalt cement contains 5.3% asphalt binder by weight of total mix, and its bulk
specific gravity is 2.428. The theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mix is 2.592, and the bulk specific
gravity of the aggregate is 2.703. Determine the VMA, VTM and VFA of the Asphalt Ce
