Coupler Tensile Strength Test

This document describes a tensile strength test for reinforcing bar couplers. The test is performed according to international standards to determine if the coupler's properties meet requirements. It involves straining a coupler-bar assembly in tension until fracture. Results including tensile strength, permanent elongation, and location of fracture are recorded and compared to acceptance criteria in the standards.
