Abstract
Synopsis Analyses of computer studies and of over 200 tests lead to a method of predicting the load at which a concrete prism splits or bursts when subjected to a concentrated surface strip or patch load, and the range over which this splitting determines the ultimate strength. The effects upon the splitting strength of eccentricity of loading, the length of the prism, external lateral restraint and internal reinforcement are also determined.Keywords
