Original Abstract

The paper discusses the results of an experiment that focused on measuring Young's modulus in compression using several different specimens. They were made from lightweight concrete with porous aggregate and differed in shape (cylinder × prism), type (casting × core drilling), and size. Each type category counted a minimum of 6 specimens. The determination of Young's modulus was supplemented by a measurement of the dynamic modulus of elasticity determined by the ultrasonic pulse velocity test. The experiment was concluded by a statistical analysis of the measured values, which focused on the influence of each specimen variety on the value of the elastic modulus.
