Thanks again peteroznewman for your comprehensive answer. Yes, I totally agree that we should specify the tensile strength of the concrete. In short, we’re trying to simulate two scenarios: 1) one scarified block joined to another (the total length is 50 cm); 2) a 25 cm long block joined to another one using an epoxy adhesive. In both cases the joint covers the entire area of the ends of the blocks. There is a 24-hour delay in the concreting date of the 2 blocks. Thanks in advance.
