2. Procedure 1. With a micrometer caliper determine the mean diameter of the steel specimen near its mid-length. Assume the shearing proportional limit is 0.6 of the tensile proportional limit and the shearing modulus of rupture as equal to the tensile strength. Check with the instructor to ascertain tensile strength of the specimen. 2. Compute loading increments that will give at least 10 observations below the shearing proportional limit, several close together near the proportional limit,...

Materials Testing Lab CET 345 Experiment 4 Compression and Flexure Test of Concrete Pearson Doss Group 2 Summary Concrete has been applied in construction for many years. The compressible strength of concrete allows it to be used for base slabs and can handle large loads built atop it. Although concrete can withstand a large force compressing it, it does not take as much flexing force to malfunction. This is why some will find that concrete has been reinforced with steel rebar or so...
