Estimation of the Modulus of Elasticity for Dam Concrete

The modulus of elasticity of dam concrete is difficult to determine directly from tests due to the necessity for large specimens and testing machines. In order to study the applicability of simple elastic models for predicting the modulus from standard size specimens, tests were conducted on prisms of 45×45×90 cm fabricated with dam concrete (maximum aggregate of 120 mm). The tests on standard ...
