45 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): -2
peer agreement (net): -2ultimate Explanation: Feminine because it agrees with "résistance", not with "test". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength "Ultimate tensile strength is measured by the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. ... They are tabulated for common materials such as alloys, composite materials, ceramics, plastics, and wood." https://wp.optics.arizona.edu/optomech/wp-content/uploads/..... σU ⇒ Ultimate Strength - The maximum stress the material can withstand (based on the original area). Material Properties. E ⇒ Modulus of Elasticity - Slope of the initial linear portion of the stress-strain diagram. The modulus of elasticity may also be characterized as the “stiffness” or ability of a material to resist deformation ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2017-12-17 18:37:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The references above were to back the use of the word "ultimate". Obviously, concrete has compressive strength, not tensile strength, tensile strength being provided by the rebars. The ultimate compressive strength of concrete is the strength after 28 days: https://goo.gl/LSZ92q The grade of heavy concretes expresses the ultimate compressive strength in kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm2) measured using the reference cube specimens with edge size 15 cm after 28 days of “standard” hardening at a temperature of 20 ± 2 ◦C and relative humidity 80... 100 % However, the question refers to "matériaux", so it is not just about concrete. The client may have said that "finale" relates to the "épreuve", but, obviously, information required here is the result of the strength test which, in the case of the concrete, would be that done at or after 28 days. One would not use the term "final exam": this is about materials testing, not academic results. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2017-12-17 20:06:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Asker The client is always right, even when they aren't. However, KudoZ is also a resource for translators who may later need to translate the same term or something similar, so it's always worth adding a note, even if the Asker has already delivered their translation and/or decided on a different translation of the term. |
