Abstract:
This recommendation is valid for structural applications
of concrete under service and accident conditions. This
document presents test parameters (material and
environmental) and test procedures for measuring the
direct tensile strength of concrete cylinders in the
longitudinal direction, either at high temperatures
after first heating or after cooling. Test temperatures
range from 20 to 750 deg C or above depending on the
capability of test equipment.
