Expert Commentary
Measures the Resistance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) to Bead-Hardness. Essentially a tensile test for thin-section GFRC. The engineering focus is on the grip interface; standard wedge grips often crush the cementitious matrix. MTO recommends bolted or shouldered ends to ensure the load is transferred into the reinforcement fibers effectively.
