A sample load–displacement plot for a C3 specimen is shown beside the pictures of the failed specimen under loading. The elastic modulus was computed based on the stiffness taken from the slope of the linear section of the curve. The ultimate load was taken as the highest recorded load. The strength (MPa) was calculated using the ultimate load and the measured cross‐sectional area of the specimen.
