Direct Tension Testing
• Considering including test method in document
• Determines the cracking strength, crack localization strength,
and strain capacity of UHPC materials
• Used to assess tension behavior of five commercially available
UHPCs with typical values published in FHWA-HRT-18-036
• Collaboration ongoing with Iowa DOT pooled fund (1434) to
assess the method through round robin testing
