Tensile Strength of Concrete
2-Tensile strength of concrete
Concrete is not normally designed to resist tension the knowledge
of tensile strength to
1- Estimating the load under which cracking will develop.
2- Maintain the continuity of concrete structure
3- Many case in the prevention of corrosion of reinforcement.
There are three types of test for strength in tension
1-
Direct tension test
2- Flexural tensile strength
3- Splitting tensile strength
:
1- Direct tension test
A direct application of pure tension force and from eccentricity is difficult to
avoid secondary stress.
2- Flexural strength tests
1- one point load (center load ) 2- Symmetrical two point loading
Flexural test machine
Fracture specimen
3-Splitting tensile strength
Loading the specimen for the splitting tensile strength test
Failure specimen after loading
Concrete's tensile strength, testing methods, and applications are explored in this detailed overview. Learn about direct tension tests, flexural tensile strength, splitting tensile strength, and more. Images illustrate the testing procedures and equipment used.
