When we determine the strength of concrete using the test specimens, we determine the concrete's
A)ultimate compressive stress.
B)modulus of elasticity.
C)ultimate tensile stress.
D)ultimate shear stress.
E)all of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of concrete is commonly determined by its ultimate compressive stress, which is its ability to withstand a crushing load. The other choices listed (modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile stress, and ultimate shear stress) are also properties of concrete that can be tested, but they are not typically used to determine the concrete's strength.
