Terminology3.1 DefinitionFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology C119.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 modulus of elasticity, nstress per unit strain, alsoknown as Youngs Modulus.4. Significance and Use4.1 This te

7、st method is useful for providing engineeringvalues for stress and deflection analysis of stone panels. It isalso useful in indicating the differences in flexural modulus ofelasticity between various dimension stones and stones of thesame type in different loading directions (parallel and perpen-dic

8、ular to rift or bedding planes).5. Apparatus5.1 Testing Machine (see Fig. 1), conforming to the require-ments of the applicable sections of Practices E4. The quarter-point loading method shall be used in making flexure tests ofstone employing bearing blocks that will ensure that forcesapplied to the

9、 beam will be vertical only and applied withouteccentricity. The apparatus should be capable of maintainingthe span length and distances between load-applying blocksand support blocks constant within 6 1.3 mm (6 0.05 in.). Theload should be capable of being applied at a uniform rate andin such a man

10、ner as to avoid shock.5.2 Deflection Gages, capable of reading to 0.002 mm(0.0001 in.) shall be used to measure mid-span deflections atthe two free edges and support deflections at each end.6. Test Specimens6.1 The test specimens shall measure 100 mm (4 in.) wideby 32 mm (1.25 in.) thick by 380 mm (

11、15 in.) long with a spanas tested of 320 mm (12.5 in.). The sides of the specimens shallbe at right angles with the top and bottom. The specimens shallhave a fine abrasive finish on the planes perpendicular to theload and a fine saw finish on the other four planes. Thedimensions of the specimen shal

12、l be measured and recorded tothe nearest 0.2 mm (0.01 in.). A minimum of five specimensshall be tested for each condition of test. The average valuecalculated from plots of the test results is reported as theflexural modulus of elasticity for that condition.6.2 Where the job thickness has been set (

13、the thickness ofthe stone panels for the project has been established), it is oftenrequested to perform flexural modulus of elasticity tests at thejob thickness. The following shall govern the specimen sizewhere it is requested to test at the job thickness, and the jobthickness is other than 32 mm (

14、1.25 in.). The span as testedshall be ten times the thickness. The specimen lengths shall benot less than 50 mm (2 in.) and not more than 100 mm (4 in.)greater than the span as tested. Where the thickness is less than70 mm (2.67 in.), the width of the specimen shall be 100 mm(4 in.). Where the thick

15、ness is greater than 70 mm (2.67 in.) thewidth shall be 1.5 times the thickness. Where the thickness is1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C18 onDimension Stone and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C18.01 on TestMethods.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2008.

17、b thickness criteria noted in the forego-ing, the average value of the test results for each condition shallbe reported as the flexural modulus of elasticity of the stone atthe job thickness for that condition. All other requirementsshall be in accordance with 6.1.6.3 Where the job surface finish ha

18、s been set (the architec-tural finish on the panels for the project has been established),it is often requested to perform flexural modulus of elasticitytests on specimens with the finish the same as on the job. Thefollowing shall govern when it is requested to test at the jobsurface finish. The spe

19、cimens shall have a finish on one planeperpendicular to the load in accordance with the finish speci-fied for the job. Unless there are data to the contrary, thepositioning of the specimen shall be with the finished face inflexural tension. The average value of the test results for eachcondition sha

20、ll be reported as the flexural modulus of elasticityof the stone at the job surface finish for that condition.All otherrequirements shall be in accordance with 6.1 and 6.2.6.4 Where the specimens conform to the requirements of 6.2and 6.3, the average value calculated from plots of the testresults fo

21、r each condition shall be reported as the flexuralmodulus of elasticity of the stone at the job thickness andsurface finish for that condition.7. Conditioning7.1 For specimens with uneven surfaces, prepare flat bear-ing areas for the span supports and quarter point loading blocksby applying a water

22、resistant capping compound 15 mm (12 in.)wide centered on these areas. Allow the capping compound todry or cure per the manufacturers recommendations beforecontinuing conditioning the specimens in accordance with 7.2or 7.3.7.2 Before testing the specimens in a dry condition, drythem for 48 h at 60 6

23、 2C (140 6 4F). At the 46th, 47th, and48th h, weigh the specimens to ensure the weight is the same.If the weight continues to drop, continue to dry the specimensuntil there are three successive hourly readings with the sameweight. After removing the specimens from the oven, coolthem to room temperat

24、ure in a desiccator before testing.7.3 Before testing the specimens in a wet condition, im-merse them in water for 48 h at 22 6 2C (72 6 4F). Testthem immediately upon removal from the bath, wiping thespecimens free of surface water.8. Procedure8.1 Assemble the apparatus, place the specimen on the s

25、pansupports, and adjust the quarter-point loading blocks intocontact with the specimens.8.2 Preload the specimen twice to a maximum load corre-sponding to 50 % of the anticipated ultimate strength and thenback to zero (Note 1). Increase the load at a rate thatcorresponds to a change in flexural stre

26、ss no greater than 4.14MPa (600 psi) per min.NOTE 1Ultimate flexural strength values are best determined by TestMethod C 880.8.3 Apply a preload of 44 N (10 lbf), zero the deflectiongages, and load reading apparatus (see Note 2).8.4 Increase the load in increments of approximately 10 %of the anticip

27、ated failure load. Stop the loading at eachincrement and record both of the two sample midspan edgedeflections. Continue load increments and deflection readingsuntil failure of the specimen occurs.NOTE 2It is frequently difficult to set the deflection gages to read zerowhen there is no load on the s

28、pecimen. A common practice is to apply asmall initial load to the specimen such as 44 N (10 lbf) and set thedeflection gages to read zero for this load. Since it is only the slope of thestress-strain curve that is desired, this initial load does not affect the finalresult.9. Calculation9.1 Plot the

29、load-deflection readings to a convenient scaleusing the average net midspan deflection and draw a straightline to represent, as nearly as possible, the average of theplotted points for the linear portion of the curve. (See Fig. 2.)If the line does not pass through the zero point, draw acorrected lin

30、e through this point and parallel to the stress-strainline. Calculate the flexural modulus of elasticity, E, from thecoordinates of a convenient Point A on the corrected line asfollows:E 511WL364Dbd3(1)FIG. 1 Diagrammatic View of a Suitable Apparatus for Flexural Modulus of Elasticity of Stone TestC
