Brazilian Test of Concrete Specimens Subjected to Different Loading Geometries: Review and New Insights

Abstract The objective of this work was finding out the most advisable testing conditions for an effective and robust characterization of the tensile strength (TS) of concrete disks. The independent variables were the loading geometry, the angle subtended by the contact area, disk diameter and thick...
