Modulus of Elasticity in Tension for Concrete and Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Abstract:

The paper deals with the determination of the modulus of elasticity in tension for cementitious composites and comparing these values with the values of modulus in compression. It describes several methods, which are usually used for determination of modulus of elasticity of concrete and fibre reinforced concrete. In the experimental program modulus of elasticity in compression and tension of various types of concrete and fibre reinforced concrete were compared. The classic test with prismatic specimens was used for determination of the modulus in compression; a new arrangement of uniaxial tension test of cementitious composites was used for determination of the modulus of elasticity in tension.
