| Abstract | The tensile strength of concrete was determined by direct and
indirect methods. An epoxy resin was used to transfer the tension
to the direct test specimens. It was found that the split strengths(cylinder and cube split strength) and the direct tensile strength are approximately equal and they are lower than the modulus of rupture. The modulus of rupture is relatively high for weak concrete. This
relation is also found in the split strength and the direct tensile
strength. Two sets of equations for estimating the tensile strength of concrete from the compressive strength are proposed. One set is used for estimating the modulus of rupture and the other set for
estimating the split strengths or the direct tensile strength.
Finally, the allowable tensile stresses used in design were compared to the test results |
