Comparative Study on the Bond Strength between Direct Tensile Test and Indirect Tensile Test for Bonded Concrete Overlay [PDF]
Bonded concrete overlay is a favorable maintenance method since the material properties are similar to existing concrete pavements. In addition, bonded concrete overlay has advantage of structural performance based on being bonded together, both for the overlay layer and the existing pavement which perform as one monolithic layer.

A Direct Tensile Strength Testing Method for Concrete from Existing Structures
Tensile strength is a crucial property for the function, safety and durability of all concrete structures. The general procedure to assess the tensile properties of concrete from existing structures is to perform indirect tests and predict the tensile strength based on established empirical relationships.

Laboratory Tensile Strength Testing of Clay Soils using Direct Measurement
Clay has wide application in engineered barriers, such as buffer barriers in deep geological nuclear waste disposal, clay liners in landfill, and earthen slopes and embankments, to name a few. However, most clay soils have a high potential to crack under extreme weather induced moisture loss. From a macro-mechanical view, clay tensile strength which is

A universal direct tensile testing method for measuring the tensile strength of rocks
There is limited applicability to the current method for testing the direct tensile strength of rocks because it places stringent requirements on the testing equipment. This work suggests a universal method based on the “compression-to-tension” idea in response to these difficulties.

Assessment of Direct Tensile Strength Tests in Rock Through a Multi-laboratory Benchmark Experiment
AbstractThis study aims to experimentally assess repeatability and reproducibility of direct tensile strength (DTS) tests with deformability measurements on two types of rocks: Blanco Mera granite (Spain) and Cotta sandstone (Germany). The tests were conducted in four rock mechanics laboratories located in different countries (Canada, Germany, Spain ...
