BS 6319-3:1990 PDF Download

BS 6319-3:1990 is a standard that outlines the methods for measuring the modulus of elasticity in flexure and flexural strength of resin and polymer/cement compositions for use in construction. The standard focuses on testing rectangular prisms under four-point loading conditions.

The standard provides detailed procedures for conducting the tests, including the preparation of the test specimens and the setup of the testing apparatus. The rectangular prisms are subjected to a four-point loading arrangement, where two load points are applied on the top surface of the prism and two support points are applied on the bottom surface.

By applying a load on the specimen, the standard allows for the measurement of both the modulus of elasticity in flexure, which represents the stiffness of the material, and the flexural strength, which indicates the maximum stress that the material can withstand without failure. These parameters are important for assessing the performance and durability of resin and polymer/cement compositions in construction applications.
