Bonded Concrete - 08 - There's a Crackling in the Concrete!

Todays the day! The time has come for the UHPC beam to undergo destructive testing. The decisive question is how much weight it can withstand before it fails. To answer this question, a hydraulic cylinder is used to exert a load on the beam until it fractures. The fine cracks that become visible are carefully observed by the researchers and marked using a marker pen. The load on the beam has already reached ten tons and the number of cracks is growing. Will the ultimate load of the new type of concrete meet the researchers expectations?
