Abstract
Stable three point bend tests on notched concrete specimens have been done at -170 C and at room temperature. Specimens were water saturated and four sizes have been tested at each temperature to ascertain the influence of size on measured parameters. Problems related with concrete cracking due to temperature non uniformity during cooling have been considered.
