Uniaxial tensile test method for cylindrical concrete cores from existing structures

A method for direct tensile tests on cylindrical concrete cores from existing structures was developed at Luleå University of Technology and the method was tested on concrete from a 55 year old bridge from northern Sweden. The tests showed that the tensile strength of the concrete could be upgraded...

Description
Summary:A method for direct tensile tests on cylindrical concrete cores from existing structures was developed at Luleå University of Technology and the method was tested on concrete from a 55 year old bridge from northern Sweden. The tests showed that the tensile strength of the concrete could be upgraded to a higher value.
