Evaluation of Static Modulus of Elasticity Depending On Concrete Compressive Strength
Evaluation of Static Modulus of Elasticity Depending On Concrete Compressive Strength
Evaluation of Static Modulus of Elasticity Depending On Concrete Compressive Strength
Abstract—The paper is focused on monitoring of dependencies
of different composition concretes on elastic modulus values.
To obtain a summary of elastic modulus development in dependence
of concrete composition design variability was the objective
of the experiment. Essential part of this work was initiated
as a reaction to building practice when questions of elastic moduli
arose at the same time and which mostly did not obtain the required

From available sources it is not possible to rely elasticity [3], [5]:

The value of static elastic modulus depends to certain extent 2) The modulus of elasticity depends on moduli of elasticity

it is relevant to apply the term of compressive strength C 12/15 27 000
for the estimation of elastic modulus, namely at designing C 16/20 29 000
of constructions where final deflection is very important C 20/25 30 000
and further it must be taken into account that resulting real C 25/30 31 000
value of the elastic modulus may strongly differ from C 30/37 33 000
the stated guide values while the concrete class set C 35/45 34 000
on compressive strength basis is kept [3]. And this applies also C 40/50 35 000
