ASTM C 78 (C-78) determines the flexural strength of concrete by the use of a simple beam with third-point loading. The modulus of rupture is dependent on specimen size, moisture, curing, and preparation. This standard is used in the testing of concrete in the construction of slabs and pavements. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM C78.
