Q. How is the modulus of elasticity of concrete measured?
The test for determining the modulus of elasticity of the concrete is known as a compression test on the cylindrical concrete sample. The test typically consists of an arrangement of the compressometer and applying a series of compressive stress cycles up to about 40% of the measured compressive stress.
Q. What is the Young’s modulus of concrete?
The elastic modulus of hardened cement paste is around 10 to 30 GPa and that of aggregate is between 45 to 85 GPa. Concrete generally have an elastic modulus varying between 30 to 50 GPa.
Q. How do you calculate modulus of concrete?
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
- ACI 318–08, (Normal weight concrete) the modulus of elasticity of concrete is, Ec =4700 √f’c Mpa and.
- IS:456 the modulus of elasticity of concrete is 5000√f’c, MPa.
Q. What is elastic modulus of concrete and steel?
The modulus of elasticity is material dependent. For example, the modulus of elasticity of steel is about 200 GPa (29,000,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity of concrete is around 30 GPa (4,350,000 psi).
Q. What is the ratio of modulus of elasticity of steel and modulus of elasticity of concrete?
For example, the modulus of elasticity of steel is about 200 GPa (29,000,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity of concrete is around 30 GPa (4,350,000 psi).
Q. What strength is C32 40 concrete?
Concrete characteristics according to Eurocode 2
| Concrete class | fck (MPa) | ξMAX (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| C30/37 | 30 | 0.45 |
| C32/40 | 32 | 0.45 |
| C35/45 | 35 | 0.45 |

Q. What is C32 40 concrete?
C32/40 is a strong commercial grade concrete. It can be used where high structural strength and support is required and when large heavy weights will be applied in small areas (e.g. farm traffic). Ideal for: HGV parks, agricultural yards, septic tank foundations, structural beams and hydro dam applications.
Q. How is the modulus of elasticity of concrete calculated?
With the compressive strength test on the concrete specimen ( cylinder of 15 cm diameter and 30 cm length having a volume 15 cm cube ), the modulus of elasticity of concrete is calculated with the help of a stress and strain graph. Ec = Modulus of elasticity of concrete. f’c = Compressive strength of concrete.
Q. How is the elasticity of a concrete batch determined?
The strength of concrete is dependent on the relative proportion and modulus of elasticity of the aggregate. To know the accurate value of elastic modulus of a concrete batch, laboratory test can be done.
Q. What are the elastic properties of reinforced concrete?
The elastic deformation properties of reinforced concrete depend on its composition and especially on the aggregates. Approximate values for the modulus of elasticity Ecm (secant value between σc = 0 and 0.4 fcm) for concretes with quartzite aggregates, are given in EN1992-1-1 Table 3.1 according to the following formula:
Q. What are the properties of concrete in Eurocode 2?
Table of concrete design properties according to Eurocode 2 (EN1992-1-1) including compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, min. reinforcement
