ASTM C215

Full Name

ASTM C215 – Standard Test Method for Fundamental Transverse, Longitudinal, and Torsional Resonant Frequencies of Concrete Specimens

Scope

This test method covers measurement of the fundamental transverse, longitudinal, and torsional resonant frequencies of concrete prisms and cylinders for the purpose of calculating dynamic Young’s modulus of elasticity, the dynamic modulus of rigidity (sometimes designated as “the modulus of elasticity in shear”), and dynamic Poisson’s ratio.

Keywords

dynamic modulus of rigidity; dynamic Poisson’s ratio; dynamic Young’s modulus of elasticity; forced resonance; fundamental resonant frequency; impact resonance; nondestructive testing
