Abstract

Flexural behavior of concrete on different stress states is studied. The flexural tensile strengths are compared with three different test methods: four-point bending test for the uniaxial stress state, ASTM C 1550 and biaxial flexure test for the biaxial stress state. Thirteen concrete beams and twenty six concrete panel specimens were tested and the heights of three kind test specimens were equal to each other. Test results show the uniaxial tensile strength of concrete obtained from four-point bending test was lower than the biaxial tensile strength estimated from ASTM C 1550 and biaxial flexure test. The biaxial flexural strength measured by the ASTM C 1550 is greater than that of the biaxial flexure test.
