ASTM C116-90 PDF Download

ASTM C116-90 is a test method that determines the compressive strength of concrete by using portions of beams broken in flexure as test specimens. This method was originally developed to test portions of beams with a square cross-section, but it can also be used for beams with a rectangular cross-section.

The standard mentions that there are other methods to make flexural test specimens which can be used in conjunction with this test method. These methods include Practice C31, Test Method C42, and Practice C192 for making flexural test specimens, and Test Method C78 and Test Method C293 for determining flexural strength.

However, it is important to note that this standard does not address safety issues associated with its use. The user of this standard is responsible for establishing appropriate safety practices and ensuring compliance with regulatory limitations before conducting the test.
