General information

Flexural strength

  • Use the three-point loading method
  • Place the prisms in the apparatus
  • Apply the vertical load
  • Keep the prisms halves covered with a damp cloth until tested in compression
  • Calculate the flexural strength

Compressive strength

  • Caary out the test on halves of the prisms broken in "Flexural strength"
  • Calculate the compressive strength
