ASTM C469 Modulus of Elasticity and Poissons Ratio in Concrete Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The ASTM C469 standard for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens is a widely accepted international standard that governs the testing of concrete compressive strength. However, this standard also includes requirements for determining the modulus of elasticity and Poissons ratio of concrete. These properties are essential in designing and constructing structures that can withstand various loads and stresses.

The ASTM C469 standard is part of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) series of standards for concrete testing. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and other regional and national standard development organizations have also developed similar standards that are applicable to this specific laboratory test.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to the ASTM C469 Modulus of Elasticity and Poissons Ratio in Concrete testing:

  • ISO 1920-5:2019 (Concrete - Determination of compressive strength)
