Determine the compressive stress at failure of specimen B, which was a 12-in. diameter specimen that failed at a test load of 200,000 Ib. c. Explain: strength of a material in terms of stress. Which one of the above specimen has higher strength? Why?

7. The third-point loading flexure strength test was performed on a concrete beam having a cross section of 150 mm by 150 mm and a span of 450 mm. If the load at failure was 35.7 kN, calculate the flexural strength of this concrete.
Anyone help me with this I asked twice bt so far all the answers that returned I couldn’t see the attachments.thanks in advance
Need some help with this question
A compact tension specimen is tested according to ASTM standard E399. The load displacement curve is shown in the Figure below with PQ= 120 kN (Type 1 curve). The specimen dimensions are B=0.5 cm, W=10 cm, and “a” =5 cm. If the materials yield stress is 600 MPa are the conditions correct for a valid K1C measurement? Please look up McEviley’s textbook on the thickness criterion for a valid fracture toughness value.
When describing the behavior of concrete under load, the popular belief is that concrete will crush when the unit strain reaches 0.003. if a 12-in tall concrete test cylinder is tested to the failure point in a testing machine what will be its height when it fails?
Discuss the results in the following graphs?
Problem 1: Concrete is required for internal columns of a building. The specified strength is 25 MPa at 28 days and it is required that no more than 1 test result in 20 will fall below the specified strength. The concrete testing history of 50 tests, carried out by the construction company for the same concrete grade, indicated a standard deviation of 3 MPa. The size of the column sections and the spacing of steel require slump of 80 mm and Dmax of 20 mm. The fine aggregate have FM of 2.665, and absorption of 2%, BSG (SSD) of 2.6. The CA have bulk density of 1500kg/m³; absorption of 4% and BSG (SSD) of 2.50. The moisture content for both aggregate is 1%.
