INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL REVIEW

1.1

Introduction
Uniaxial compressive tests are the most widely accepted norm for

evaluating the quality of concrete.


C39:

The standard cylinder test (ASTM

Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical

Concrete Specimens

(1))

is simple and provides an excellent means for

the quality control of concrete in industry, and is the basis for

assessing the mechanical properties of concrete which are essential to


the design of concrete structures.

However,

the value of ultimate compressive strength obtained from

the standard uniaxial compression test, and followed religiously,

is,

in fact, higher than the true strength of concrete in uniaxial

compression.

Incorrect measurements of strength and elastic

properties are obtained because of the development of non-uniform


stresses throughout the specimen caused by friction between the end

surfaces of the specimen and machine platens, which prevent it from

expanding laterally.
Attempts have been made throughout this century to investigate
the stress distribution within cylindrical specimens.

Investigators

have also studied the effect of specimen geometry and end conditions
on the "uniaxial" compressive strength.

However, a practical approach

to the problem of trying to find a thumb-rule or guideline relating

the strength obtained in the standard test to the true strength in

unconfined compression is yet to be established.

The following

historical review traces significant experimental and theoretical work

in this area.

Historical Review

1.2

The effect of different end conditions on compressive strength

was recognised as early as 1900 by Foeppl

(2).

He conducted

experiments in which he eliminated end friction to a degree, and


observed the modes of failure.

His experiments on cubes showed that

specimens with paraffin on the bearing surfaces failed at a lower

The modes of failure were

The former failed by splitting in a direction

parallel to a vertical face, whereas the latter failed in a pyramidal


shape.
It was not until 1924 that Gonnerman (3) made an extensive study

of this problem.

He studied the influence of uneven end surfaces and

of different methods of capping on the strength in compression of

concrete cylinders from four different mixtures.

that the introduction of rubber sheets resulted in the greatest

In the following year, Gonnerman (4) conducted a study on the

effect of size and shape of test specimen on compressive strength.

cylinders before capping, a higher strength and greater degree of

uniformity of strength for the same quality of concrete are obtained

in 1942 on the effect of height of test

specimens on compressive strength reinforced previous observations.


Johnson concluded that a correction factor should be applied for

specimens for which the length is greater than twice the diameter.

(11),

the compressive strength of concrete cylinders and concluded that

capping materials did have a distinct effect on the strength.

In 1964, Newman and Lacnance (12) reported an extensive study

conducted at the Imperial College in London. They investigated mainly

They showed

that tangential stresses were induced at the ends of the specimen, but

dropped rapidly with increasing distance from the ends.

Axial

stresses again were seldom uniform, and they concluded that axial

Kupfer. Hilsdorf and Rusch (14) developed a steel brush

device with filaments 5 mm. by 3mm. and spaced 0.2 mm. apart.

The

idea was that the bristles would produce axial loads, but, because of
their own small lateral stiffness, would deflect, and therefore would

not produce lateral restraint at the specimen ends. A comparable

device had been developed earlier by the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute


(15).

In 1973,

Schickert (16) published a detailed study on the

influence of frictional restraint on fracture modes.

He used steel

brushes and aluminum sheets to minimize end friction and showed that

with aluminum sheets, the strength of test specimens was 92 percent of


the compressive strength obtained using steel platens.

He also showed

that steel brushes reduced the strength to 81 percent of that obtained

using steel platens.

Most recently, Basunbul (17) concluded from his work that for
test specimens of height-to-diameter greater than or equal to

2,

the

frictional constraint had no apparent influence on strength, which is

contrary to what other investigators have found.


In summary,

the apparent ultimate strength of concrete and the

lateral and longitudinal stress distributions within it are

significantly affected by end frictional conditions, and by the

geometry of the specimen.

CHAPTER 2
SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION

The present investigation was designed to evaluate a method for

determining the strength of concrete in truly unconfined uniaxial


compression and then to test the method in the context of a design
application.

Data of earlier investigators suggest that the apparent strength


of concrete in compression (fc) is inversely proportional to the

aspect ratio (H/D) of the test specimen;

that is,

fc vs. H/D is a

rectangular hyperbola translated from the origin in the direction of


fc.

If so,

a simple variable transformation of the form, x =

1/x,

should yield a straight line with a y-intercept equal to the

displacement of the horizontal asymptote of the corresponding

are approximately

linear following variable transformation supports this hypothesis.


In order to test this hypothesis,

five sets of six replications

of cylinders of six different aspect ratios, all cast from a single

normal-weight concrete mixture, and a similar set cast from a single


light-weight concrete mixture, were to be tested in compression in

accordance with applicable portions of ASTM C39

(1).

Among the five

sets of normal-weight concrete cylinders, end conditions were to be

altered to vary the frictional restraint.

Coincidental ly,

the

elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio were to be measured for a

representative

set.

Finally, ultimate stresses determined in a field of unconfined

uniaxial compression in a structural element were to be compared with


the unconfined cylinder strengths estimated as described above.

The

classic specimen of Hognestad, Hanson, and McHenry (23) was to be used


for this purpose.

made from PVC Schedule 80/40 pipes of internal diameter 2-7/8 inches.

We proposed to make six different sizes of cylinders with


diameter-to-height ratios ranging from approximately 0.17 to

1.00.

Six cylinders molds of each size were fabricated into a gang of 36


molds for any one set.

Mixing and Casting Procedures

3.3.2

The batched ingredients were mixed in a power-driven, rotary-drum

mixer of 3.5 cubic feet capacity.


To minimize variation among batches, uniform procedures were
followed, especially when specimens were cast from two separate

batches of concrete, as in the case of the beam specimens.

A "buttermix" with a quarter cubic foot of concrete was mixed and


discarded before the first full batch was mixed, to eliminate
differences between the first batch and subsequent batches.

Dry ingredients were mixed for 30 seconds.

Water was poured in

gradually over the next 30 seconds, and mixing was continued for 4
minutes.
pan,

The concrete was then discharged into a large pre-dampened

and a standard slump test was performed immediately thereafter.


The concrete in cylinder molds was tamped with a 3/8-in. rod with

rounded head as the concrete was placed in layers of about 3 inches.

Subsequently the molds were vibrated on a shaking table.

The molds

had been secured to the vibrating table prior to concreting.

The

formwork of the beam and its companion cylinder molds was filled to
half the depth with concrete from the first batch and finished with

material from the second.


Five sets of cylinders were fabricated with normal-weight

concrete and one with light-weight concrete.


3.3.3

Curing
All specimens were covered with polyethylene sheets to prevent

loss of moisture.

The cylinder specimens were stripped from their molds after 24

13

hours and put in a standard curing room.

The cylinders in any

particular batch were subsequently removed from the curing room on the

same day and kept in the laboratory until time of test.


The beam specimens could not be stripped the next day and
handled, due to strength considerations.

The beams were stripped

after a period of seven days after casting.

The companion cylinders

were stripped simultaneously and placed in the curing room.

The beam

specimens and its companion cylinders were cured in exactly the same

manner for the same period of time.

3.4

Specimen Preparation
The ends of the test specimens were prepared as follows-"

A given set of 36 cylinders (six different heights, six of each


size) were taken out of the curing room at the same time, and left to

14

dry out for a day under ambient room conditions.

Sulfur-capping was done in accordance with ASTM C39

(1).

The

capping base was provided with new guides for cylinders of average

diameter 2-7/8

in.

The capping was checked for perpendicularity to the long axis of


the specimen by placing the capped specimen on a plane horizontal

surface and checking it with a spirit level.

If the bubble shifted

from the center, the specimen was re-capped.

The smallest specimens

posed difficulty in capping and had to be capped several times before


satisfactory results were obtained.

Two sets of cylinders had ground surfaces.

The surface cast

against the PVC plate was already plane and perpendicular to the long
axis of the specimen.

and slow cross-feed.

The cuts were made in small increments,

and the resultant end surfaces were extremely smooth to the touch.

No

coolant was required for the facing operation.


In this operation,

the smaller cylinders posed no problem.

But

with the larger sized cylinders, there remained a distinct possibility


that the cylinder could slip out of the chuck and be damaged in the
process.

A steady-rest was therefore fabricated to accomodate lateral

forces induced in the cutting process.

3.5

Instrumentation
Lateral and axial strains were measured to evaluate the modulus

of elasticity,

and Poisson's ratio for cylinders of different

diameter-to-height ratios.

Six cylinders of different heights from Cylinder Set 3 (sulfurcapped, without residual oil) were instrumented for this purpose.

Two

axial gages 180 degrees apart and two lateral gages diametrically

opposite to each other at mid-height were used.

The beam specimens were instrumented following the same
procedures.

strain gages 180 degrees apart.

A small steel angle section was aligned with

The cylinder was brought into position

so that its sides touched the angle.

The angle was removed before

The difficulty with this procedure was that the cylinders were
not perfectly circular in cross-section, as is evident from the data

presented in Tables Al to A6 (Appendix

A).

The specimens may not have

been truly centered, but the ultimate stress values which do not have

Since failure was sudden in most cases, it was not possible to
record the strains corresponding to the ultimate load.

However, in

most cases, we were successful in recording strain data close to


failure.

This was done to prevent tension developing on the outer

and extra caution had to be exercised in

order not to fracture this region in transporting the beam.

Centering the beam in the machine, so that the load PI could be


applied concentrically, was another major problem.

The beam had a

tendency to tilt slightly as a result of defective form-work.

This

difficulty was overcome by capping the loading region of the beam with
Hydrostone,

and levelling it with a spirit level.

The results obtained from the five sets of cylinders of normal-

A).

In general, a linear fit seems to be good, judging from the high

correlation coefficients.

However, it may be noticed that Set 5 and

especially Set 2 have a lower correlation coefficient than the other


three sets.

A segmental linear fit was tried for Set

smallest cylinders.

In the complete absence of friction we would

expect a straight line fit parallel to the x-axis, of the form y =

c,

c being the intercept of the y-axis.

The intercept in all five cases lies between 0.834 and 0.893.
The intercept represents the correction factor needed to convert the

ultimate strength of the standard cylinder to the true uniaxial


compressive strength.
The strengths of cylinders cast in paper molds indicate a
reduction in strength as compared to cylinders cast in PVC molds. In
Table Al, where the end conditions were exactly the same for cylinders
cast in PVC and paper molds, a reduction in strength of 2.2 percent is
indicated.

This result is consistent with the findings of Burmeister

(25).

Light-Weight Concrete

5.1.2

Results for the set cast with light-weight concrete are presented
in Table A6, and a plot of these results is shown in Figure

8.

The analytical procedure followed is the same as for Cylinder


Sets

through 5 for normal-weight concrete.

A linear regression analysis of the plot of f/fc


(x)

(y)

versus D/H

yields:

y = 0.161x + 0.886,

with a correlation coefficient of

22

0.77.

The intercept is higher than that obtained for normal-weight


concrete (0.886 compared to 0.834) with cylinders having identical end
conditions.

On inspection of the plot,

it is seen that

a segmental

linear fit would be more appropriate, giving a higher correlation

coefficient and a lower intercept.

We did notice a peculiar phenomenon in light-weight concrete.


The ultimate stresses in cylinders identified as "A" and "B" were

approximately the same.

Two sets of nine cylinders, of diameter-to-height ratios of

The strengths were identical again.

The

results are shown in Table A7.

The behavior of light-weight concrete seems to be entirely


different to normal-weight concrete, in so far as cylinders of D/H
ratios of 0.5 and 1.0 are concerned. The established difference of 15

percent in D/H ratios of 0.5 and 1.0 for normal-weight concrete is not

noticed in light-weight concrete.

The standard sulfur-capped 3-in.-by-6-in. cylinder cast in a
paper mold gave a modulus of elasticity value of 5.1 E +06 psi (ACI

formula gives 4.9 E +06 psi), and a Poisson's ratio of 0.22.


The results indicate a significant difference in the modulus of
elasticity with change in specimen geometry, about 11 percent between

cylinders of D/H = 0.85 and 0.16.


Poisson's ratio at mid-height increases from 0.21 at D/H = 0.16
to 0.25 at

D/H =

0.31.

Lateral strains in the cylinder with D/H =

0.45 could not be determined due to strain gage malfunction.

However,

the cylinder with D/H = 0.85 yielded a Poisson's ratio of 0.22,

which

does not tally with the trend indicated by the other cylinders.

Newman and Lachance

(12) have reported similar results.

In general,

the differences in Poisson's ratio and in lateral strain at mid-height

for varying height of specimens is about 16 percent for the concrete

used in the test.

The method of analysis is presented in Appendix

B.

The values of df/dG and dm/dG are computed using the first

derivative of the equation of the curve of best fit for the plots of

A quadratic regression analysis was done (Tables

6.

A16 and A17), and the residuals indicate that the predictive equations

are satisfactory.

Hence, compressive strain, 6, can be

in a paper mold was also instrumented and tested. The stress-strain

data are presented in Table A18.

reasonable procedure to find the ultimate compressive stress would be


to extrapolate the preceding data.

The differences indicate that the

ultimate compressive stress in the beam would be (7260 + 70) equal to


7330 psi.

This is a 7 percent reduction from the ultimate compressive

stress of the 3-in.-by-6-in.

cylinders.

This percent value does not reflect the predicted "true" uniaxial

compressive stress value, which was found to be about 15 percent lower


than the ultimate compressive strength of cylinders with D/H

approximating

0.5.

There are two factors for this, namely,

(a)

the difference in

strengths of cylinders cast in cardboard and paper molds PVC molds;


and, (b) the test region in the beam was 5 in. by 5 in. by 16 in.,

giving D/H value of 0.31.


From Table Al.

it

may be observed that reduction for factor

(a)

above is about 2.2 percent, and the additional reduction for factor
(b),

from Figure

3,

is 10 percent.

This adds up to an additional 12.2

percent, over and above the 7 percent already shown, making a total

reduction of about 19 percent of the compressive strength of the

standard cylinder.
Hence, it may be reasonably argued that the reduction in

compressive strength is a valid proposition, and a reduction of about


15 percent is not at all unreasonable.

Computations similar to those made for the beam specimen made

with normal-weight concrete are presented in Tables A19 through A21.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The test results of Cylinder Sets

through 5 cast in normal-

weight concrete indicate that the strength of concrete determined by


the standard cylinder test is higher than its strength in truly

uniaxial compression by some 11 to 17 percent, based on linear

regression analysis.
to

When the data from Cylinder Set 2 are subjected

a segmental linear regression analysis, the correlation coefficient

improves, and the standard cylinder strength becomes 17 percent higher

than the estimated strength in unconf ined compression.

The data from

Cylinder Set 5 also appear to be segmental.

The apparent discontinuity in the slopes of these two data sets


is not understood.

The bearing surfaces of the cylinders of both sets

were lubricated with powdered tetraf luoroethylene, but it is not clear


that that fact is all or part of the cause of the anomaly.

Further

research is necessary if it is to be understood.


Test results for Cylinder Set 6 cast in light-weight concrete
indicate a reduction of 11 percent, based on linear regression
analysis.

percent,

Based on a segmental linear analysis,

the reduction is 17

with a corresponding improvement in the correlation

coefficient.

Replicate testing indicates that the anomaly is real,

but the cause is not yet clear.


Apparently,

the strength of concrete in truly unconfined

compression is of the order of 85 percent of the strength determined


from standard cylinders tested in accordance with ASTM C39

(1).

In the case of normal-weight concrete, ultimate stress determined

28

in the Hognestad-Hanson-McHenry structural element compared well with

the estimated strength in unconfined compression.

In the case of

light-weight concrete, the ultimate stress was significantly higher


than the estimated strength in unconfined compression.

Again,

the

apparent anomaly in the latter case is not understood, and further

work is needed

to clarify it.

The measured secant modulus of elasticity is affected

significantly by specimen geometry.

In this instance, an increase in

aspect ratio of three resulted in a reduction of about 10 percent in


the secant modulus.

Over the same range of aspect ratio,

Poisson's

ratio varied between 0.21 and 0.25.

The evidence presented here strongly suggests that standard test

methods for determining the strength of concrete in compression and


the secant modulus of elasticity are significantly unconservative for

normal-weight concrete, though not necessarily so for light-weight


concrete.

It is recommended that research be continued to explain the

anomalies encountered, to identify and explain other anomalies, and

ultimately to generate an extensive data base as a significant


resource for review and revision of methods of test and design codes.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF DATA FOR BEAM SPECIMENS

75

METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF DATA FOR BEAM SPECIMENS

Hognestad, Hanson, and McHenry (23) outlined a criterion

In 1955.

for ultimate strength design.

Their work was later accepted as a

basis for formulating the American Concrete Institute recommendations


for ultimate strength design (ACI Standard 318-77).

Their study involved determining the stress block, and the


factors Kl, K2, and K3 which define

it.

They also defined stress at a

particular fiber as a function of strain, starting from basic

assumptions of structural mechanics.


They used a C-shaped structural element similar to the one
illustrated in Figure Bl.
In the above-mentioned publication, equations defining stress as

a function of strain are given as follows:


fc = 6

df/d

+ f, and

fc =

dm/dG

+ 2m, where

PI + P2

m =

/ be. and

Pl.al + P2.a2

/ bc~2.

The symbols used above are defined as follows:

concrete compressive stress in extreme fiber of the beam;

fc

PI

major thrust;

P2

minor thrust;

concrete strain in extreme fiber of beam;

al and a2

lever arms.

(Refer to Figure Bl for physical interpretation of the

nomenclature.
76

The reinforcement detail is shown in Figures B2 and B3.

The

loading frame along with location of the hydraulic ram and load cell

are shown in Figure B4.


In our investigation to determine the unconfined compressive

strength of concrete, we used a specimen (referred to as the beam

specimen throughout the body of the text) as illustrated in Figure


The method of analysis was that developed by Hognestad, Hanson, and

McHenry

(21).

ABSTRACT
The standard cylinder test (ASTM C39

Standard Test Method for

Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens

Annual Book

of ASTM Standards Section 4 - Construction) is used universally to

determine the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete.


However, the value of ultimate compressive strength obtained from
the standard uniaxial compression test,

is,

in fact, higher than the

true strength of concrete in uniaxial compression.


It is generally believed as a result of the work of several

investigators throughout this century that the strength in uniaxial

compression of cylindrical test specimens is significantly affected by


the end frictional conditions and the geometry of the specimen.

The present investigation was designed to develop a method for

determining the strength of concrete in truly unconfined uniaxial


compression and to test the method in the context of a design
application.

A coincidental part of the investigation was to study lateral and


axial deformational charecteristics and other mechanical properties
for specimens with different geometries.

Results from this work show that apparently the strength of

concrete in truly unconfined compression is in the order of 85 percent


of the strength determined from standard cylinders tested in

accordance with ASTM C39.
