Features
- FRC (Fiber-Reinforced Concrete)
- Shotcrete
- Structural specimens reinforced with carbon fiber fabrics or similar.
- Load applied to the specimen is gradually increased in order to produce a constant rate of deformation up to the peak load value and first cracking.
- Afterwards, load is gradually decreased until a certain level of deformation is achieved by the specimen.
- The typical test result is the area subtended to the Stress-Strain diagram, higher areas are obtained with materials with high ductility and toughness.
