Concrete Strength Testing Technician (STT) - Testing for Flexural Strength of Concrete Specimens
This module will familiarize you with the procedure for testing the flexural strength of concrete specimens by using a simple beam with third-point loading.
Learning Outcome:
Upon the completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Identify the equipment and materials used for testing the flexural strength of concrete specimens.
- Describe the procedure for determining the flexural strength of concrete specimens.
- Calculate the modulus of rupture for concrete specimens.
- Identify the information to be reported in the test results.
