Figure 16 — Longitudinal compression test on clay resisting or semi-resisting blocks Before the test, the upper and lower faces of the test piece shall be made parallel. They shall have no unevenness in excess of 0,5 mm. To ensure a uniform load distribution over the block, either a spreader plate (cardboard, PTFE etc.) or corrective action (mortar or sulphur capping, grinding etc.) should be used. The load, Q, is applied as shown in Figure 17 and is increased gradually up to failure of the specimen. The loading rate shall not be greater than 2 MPa/s. SIST EN 15037-3:2009+A1:2011

The longitudinal compressive !stress" of the samples is determined by dividing the failure load, QR, by the nominal loaded surface area, and is expressed to the nearest 0,1 MPa.
