Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of concrete testing equipment, specifically to a splitting tensile strength testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The mechanical properties of concrete are crucial. During the design and construction of concrete structures, their tensile properties need to be tested and evaluated to ensure safe and reliable concrete performance. There are two methods for testing the tensile strength of concrete: the axial tensile method and the splitting tensile method. The splitting tensile method determines the maximum failure load by testing the splitting tensile strength of concrete and then calculates the splitting tensile strength of the concrete specimen. The splitting tensile strength of concrete is an important indicator of its mechanical properties. In relevant concrete splitting tensile strength tests, concrete cube specimens are typically used. The concrete splitting tensile strength test method generally involves: first, removing the concrete specimen from the curing chamber after reaching the specified test age; before the test, marking the splitting surface with a straight line drawn on the center of the top and bottom surfaces of the specimen; then placing the specimen, spacer block, and spacer strip on a bearing plate and geometrically aligning them so that the splitting surface is perpendicular to the direction of compression; subsequently conducting the test until the specimen fails, obtaining the failure load, and calculating the splitting tensile strength. The following problems were encountered during the experiment: it was difficult for the testers to fix the concrete specimens, which resulted in a long installation time; it was also difficult to align the concrete specimens with the pressure direction of the testing machine, which affected the accuracy of the experiment.
