The effect of concrete vertical construction joints on the modulus of rupture

The purpose of this study is to experimentally correlate the compressive strength (f′c) of concrete to the modulus of rupture (fr) for plain concrete beams with a vertical construction joint placed at their center. The ACI code provides a formula for the correlation of fr to f′c, but with the provis...
