Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Test methods for fibre-reinforced cementitious
composites — Bending moment — Curvature curve by
four-point bending test
1 Scope
This document specifies the test method for obtaining bending moment-curvature curves of fibre-
reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs) through four-point bending test of prism specimens.
It is applicable to FRCCs that show separated multiple cracks under pure bending before maximum load.
NOTE Separated multiple cracks means two or more independent cracks visible to the eye occurring in the
constant moment span from the bottom side over half depth of the specimen before maximum load is observed, as
shown in Figure 1. For the purpose of confirmation of cracks, spraying up the specimen surface using an alcohol
solution or acetone makes observations easier. The formation of multiple cracks is associated with deflection
hardening behaviour. For FRCCs that do not show separated multiple cracks, see ISO 19044.
a) Applicable b) Not applicable
Key
1 constant moment span
2 crack visible to the eye
3 crack
4 crack (out of constant moment span)
