What is Uniaxial Tension Test in Concrete about?

This document discusses specimen geometry for uniaxial tension testing of concrete. It explains that secondary flexure often occurs in concrete specimens due to heterogeneity, causing non-uniform stress distributions. A notched prism specimen is recommended to localize damage and minimize secondary flexure effects. Finite element analysis shows stress concentrations form at notches and damage spreads with increasing load, though secondary flexure still occurs and reduces the measured peak load. Unnotched sp
