The following can be entered and displayed on this tab:

 

Data

 

Specimens can be added and deleted using the Add Specimen and Delete Specimen buttons. The measurements for each specimen may consist of the information below depending on the options selected on the previous tab.

 

Specimen Number: This used to specify the specimen number. The second and subsequent specimen numbers will be automatically determined from the previous specimen number.

 

Test Date: If the Specify Dates on the previous tab is selected, this is used to specify the test date.

 

Test Age: This is used to select the test age from the predefined list of test ages.

 

Diameter: This is the diameter of the specimen.

 

Length: This is the length of the specimen.

 

Maximum Load: This is used to specify the maximum load before failure.

 

Strength: This is the calculated tensile strength.

 

Coarse Aggregate: This is the estimated proportion of coarse aggregate fractured during the test.

 

Fracture Type: This is used to select the type of fracture from a predefined list of fracture types. When it is clicked on it can be selected from a list of fracture types and symbols.

 

Results

 

For each of the test ages specified in the previous section, the tensile strength results will be calculated as described below.

 

Number of Specimens: This is the number of specimens that were tested for the specified test age.

 

Test Age: This is the specified test age from the previous section.

 

Average Age: This is the average test age of the specimens. It is calculated by subtracting the pour date from the test date.

 

Average Strength: This is the average tensile strength of the specimens.

 

Coefficient of Variation: This is the calculated coefficient of variation of the tensile strengths for the test age.
