7.5 Rate of Loading—Apply the load continuously and without shock.
7.5.1 The load shall be applied at a rate of movement (platen to crosshead measurement) corresponding to a
stress rate on the specimen of 0.25 ± 0.05 MPa/s [35 ± 7 psi/s] (See Note 11). The designated rate of
movement shall be maintained at least during the latter half of the anticipated loading phase.

6.3 Load the specimen continuously and without shock. The load shall be applied at a constant rate to the
breaking point. Apply the load at a rate that constantly increases the máximum stress on the tension face
between 0.9 and 1.2 MPa/min [125 and 175 psi/min] until rupture occurs. The loading rate is calculated using
the following equation:
r = Sbd2
L

where:
r = loading rate, N/min [lb/min],
S = rate of increase in maximum stress on the tension face,
MPa/min [psi/min],
b = average width of the specimen as oriented for testing,
mm [in.],
d = average depth of the specimen as oriented for testing,
mm [in.], and
L = span length, mm [in.]

7.2 Apply the load continuously and without shock. A screw power testing machine, with the moving
head operating at approximately 0.05 in. (1 mm)/min when the machine is running idle, may be used.
With hydraulic machines, adjust the loading to a constant rate within the limits of 20 ± 10 psi (140 ± 70
kPa)/s, depending upon the strength of the specimen. Record the total load at failure of the test specimen
to the nearest 10 lbf (40 N).

ESPECIMENES DE CUBOS DE MORTERO – ASTM C109

10.6.3 Apply the load to specimen faces that were in contact with the true plane surfaces of the mold. Carefully
place the specimen in the testing machine below the center of the upper bearing block. Prior to the testing of
each cube, it shall be ascertained that the spherically seated block is free to tilt. Use no cushioning or bedding
materials. Bring the spherically seated block into uniform contact with the surface of the specimen. Apply the
load rate at a relative rate of movement between the upper and lower platens corresponding to a loading on the
specimen with the range of 200 to 400 lbs/s [900 to 1800 N/s]. Obtain this designated rate of movement of the
platen during the first half of the anticipated maximum load and make no adjustment in the rate of movement
of the platen in the latter half of the loading especially while the cube is yielding before failure.

11.2 Rate of Loading —Apply the load continuously and without shock. Apply the load at a constant rate such
that the cylinder will fail in not less than 2 min. Make no adjustment in the controls of the testing machine while
a specimen is yielding rapidly immediately before failure.
11.3 Apply the load until the specimen fails, and record the maximum load carried by the specimen during the
test. For about one out of every ten cylinders, continue the loading until the cylinder breaks enough to examine
the appearance of the interior of the specimen. Note any apparent segregation, lenses, pockets, and the like in
the specimen.
