1.1 ,This test method covers the determination of residual strength of a fiber–,reinforced concrete test beam. The average residual strength is computed using specified beam deflections that are obtained from a beam that has been cracked in a standard manner. The test provides data needed to obtain that portion of the load–,deflection curve beyond which a significant amount of cracking damage has occurred and it provides a measure of post–,cracking strength, as such strength is affected by the use of fiber–,reinforcement.
