This is a free 2 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD/42, Methods of
Testing Concrete, to supersede AS 1012.17— 1976. This Standard is part of a series
applying to the sampling and testing of concrete.
The objective of this Standard is to provide those involved in the testing of concrete with
methods for the determination of static chord modulus of elasticity and a method for the
determination of Poisson’s ratio.
In preparing the methods set out in this Standard, the Committee has taken into account
experience in Australia and the methods described in ASTM C469, Standard Method of
Test for Static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio of Concrete in Compression.
Acknowledgment is made of the assistance received from this source.

The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendices to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.
