JIS A 1106:2018 PDF Download

The JIS A 1106:2018 standard outlines the procedure for testing the flexural strength of hardened concrete specimens using a two-point loading method. This method, also known as trisecting point loading, involves applying a load on the specimen at two points to determine its resistance to bending forces. The standard also mentions that the corresponding international standard is ISO 1920-4:2005, which focuses on the strength of hardened concrete.

Additionally, the standard includes an annex (Annex JA) that provides an alternative test method using center-point loading. This gives users the option to choose between the two loading techniques depending on their specific requirements or preferences. The purpose of this standard is to establish a reliable and consistent procedure for evaluating the flexural strength of concrete, ensuring that the results are accurate and comparable across different applications.
