Support Beam Standards

PREFACE This is the third booklet in the Concrete Craftsman Series published by the American Concrete Institute. The first booklet, Slabs on Grade covers placing, curing and finishing. The second booklet, Cast-in-Place Walls covers formwork, reinforcement, placing of concrete, curing, and wall...

4.1 The presence of friction in the supporting rollers used when testing a fiber-reinforced concrete beam will increase the apparent load resistance of the beam. Roller supports designed in accordance with this practice will provide a relatively low and consistent value...

1.1 These test methods cover determination of the flexural bond strength of unreinforced masonry assemblages. Two procedures are provided: 1.1.1 Test Method A-Simply supported beam with third-point loading. 1.1.2 Test Method B-Simply supported beam with uniform loading....

This SAE Recommended Practice covers beam axles utilizing hypoid gear final drives. It is a component level test, performed with three dynamometers in a "T-cell" arrangement. It includes both an efficiency characterization method, as well as a break-in method to support efficiency...

1.1 This test method covers the determination of flexural properties of continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic composites in the form of rectangular bars formed directly or cut from sheets, plates, or molded shapes. Three test geometries are described as follows: 1.1.1 Test Geometry I-A three-point...
