Determination of Strength

Compressive strength is the main mechanical property to be checked. Flexural strength, also called Modulus of Rupture (MOR), is particularly important when the mixture is to be used for pavements, flagstone, kerbs and other element subjected to tensile loads. Taking into consideration the relatively low values of failure loads and load rates, it is crucial to use automatic testing machines to achieve highly accurate results that are reliable and repeatable.
