Standard Method of Test for Splitting Tensile Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
Also Known As:
The AASHTO T 198-15 (2019) standard provides guidelines for determining the splitting tensile strength of cylindrical concrete specimens, including molded cylinders and drilled cores.
The standard clarifies that this test method is applicable to both molded cylindrical specimens and drilled cores. It also mentions that for specific procedures on molding cylindrical specimens, reference should be made to AASHTO R 39 and AASHTO T 23. Similarly, for obtaining drilled cores, AASHTO T 24 provides the relevant methods.
Splitting tensile strength is an essential parameter used in evaluating the behavior and durability of concrete. Splitting tensile strength refers to the resistance of a cylindrical concrete specimen to tensile forces applied perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, causing it to split in half.
