Dumbbell Test Method for Evaluation of the Early Age Cracking Property of Concrete Material by Stress Risers

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article develops one new test technology, dumbbell test method, for evaluation of the early age cracking property of Concrete Material under constraint conditions. Its exercise of stress risers could lead concrete to crack quickly, providing a quick method to evaluate the early age crack performance of concrete material and to perform simulated test at job site conveniently. By this method, the anti-cracking performance of different concrete material can be evaluated quickly in the construction site.
