Direct tension-compression test on cylindrical specimens DTC-CY

5 Direct tension-compression test on cylindrical specimens (DTC-CY) [Pg.344]

Measuring the applied force, F, and the phase angle, O, the complex modulus, % is calculated at the required temperature (usually 15 C) and for the required frequency (usually 10 Hz). [Pg.344]

If the master curve is to be determined, the complex modulus is determined at not less than four different temperatures, separated by not more than 10 C and for each temperature at not less than three frequencies. [Pg.344]

The conditions of temperature and loading frequency, which have been adopted for the determination of complex stiffness modulus, are 15 C and 10 Hz, respectively (CEN EN 13108-20/AC 2008). [Pg.345]

More information about the test is given in CEN EN 12697-26 (2012), Annex D. [Pg.345]
