Introduction
The verification of force transfer includes:
Satisfactory failure
Importance of the verification
of force transfer
The result of a compression test on
a cube or cylinder specimen is affec-
ted to a considerable extent (up to
Unsatisfactory failure
30-35%) by a non-uniform applica-
tion of the load on the surface of the
sample - this results in an exceptional
force being applied to the material
and its premature failure.
For this reason the calibration cer-
tificate for the force measurement
instrument mounted on the machine
does not guarantee the accuracy of
the strength result. Usually a non-
uniform application of the load leads
to unsatisfactory failures as shown
opposite, which cannot be related to
a known loss of strength.
Since 1983, the BS 1881 specifications
have included a testing procedure
in addition to the normal calibration
test, which verifies the self-align-
ment of machine components and the
restraint on movement of the upper Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is caused by an incorrect load application.
The resultant compression resistance can be up to 30-35% lower than the true resistance
