Fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs) — Direct tensile test method — Part 1: Strain hardening FRCCs

Scope

This document specifies a test method for evaluating direct tensile resistance of strain hardening fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs) using tensile parameters.
This test method provides tensile stress versus strain curve, first cracking strength, post cracking strength, strain capacity (strain at post cracking point), and the number of cracks within gauge length. This test method is primarily intended for use with FRCCs that exhibit strain hardening behaviour. This test method is not intended for materials that exhibit strain-softening behaviour.
