Abstract

This report is a review of experimental procedures used and methods for presenting data obtained, in testing specimens of nonreinforced concrete under triaxial stress conditions. The report is mainly concerned with behavior of hardened concrete under triaxial compression; materials other than concrete, mortar, or cement paste are excluded.

Keywords:
hardened concrete, triaxial compression, experimental procedures, axial stress, hydrostatic stress
