The elastic properties of concrete under bi-axial loading . , sheets of pasteboard (two leaves of thiclcness on each base) and of emery cloth (the emery sideagainst the specimen and the cloth against the plates). The table shows that, in all cases, the ultimate load issensibly the , the errors of the means of each being of thesame order of magnitude as those obtained among the individualresults contributing- to each 154 The tests by direct contact save clichtly more uniformresults than the others. Nothing distinctive was noticed as tothe character of the fracture. M. Peret states In conclusion that it is of no consequenceto the exactness or regularity of the results if a more or lessplastic material is placed betTieen the compressed faces of thespecimen and the plates of the machine. The results obtained in tris investigation using greasedplates agree i-ith Perets conclusion. The 6-ln. cubes testedbetween greased plates gave as high strengths as any 1-2-4 cubestested. Tlie unit stresses of S-in. cubes tested between greasedplates and loaded with equal loads in two directions are morenearly the stresses which could be developed in a structure thanthe stresses found when plates were not greased. It is thoughtthat, with the greased plates, there was still some friction ofthe plates left, and that this was g-reat enough to melce thestrength of the cubes greater than that of the cylinders.
