Determine the Allowable number of repetitions for a base quality material with 3.8% cement material. Given that, the desired reliability for the project is 95%, load induced tensile strain at the base of the beam specimen was 62 μe. The material when tested on the laboratory was found to have a flexural strength of 1.65 MPa and design modulus to be 3800 MPa.
