Historical Standard: ASTM C78/C78M-10 Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Concrete (Using Simple Beam with Third-Point Loading)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C78 / C78M
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the flexural strength of concrete by the use of a simple beam with third-point loading.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
