Direct tensile testing of Self-Compacting Concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2016
Abstract This study explores a new procedure to determine the stress-strain behaviour of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) under direct uniaxial tension. Special steel claws were designed, built and installed at both ends of 100 × 100 × 500 mm SCC specimens. These claws were used to transfer the applied tensile forces to the specimens. The cross-section

Tensile behaviors of natural fiber and cement reinforced soil subjected to direct tensile test

Journal of Building Engineering, 2019
Abstract The present work was conducted to investigate the direct tensile behaviors including tensile strength, stress-strain curve, energy absorption, and crack patterns of soil reinforced by cement and natural fiber. In order to archive this, the direct tension test was designed to use for both reinforced and unreinforced specimens. The compacted 8-

Estimating the direct tensile strength of rocks from indirect tests

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021
Within the scope of this study, a series of experimental, numerical and statistical analyses were performed in order to find the coefficients that would allow the accurate determination of the tensile strength values of the rocks. In this context, direct and indirect tensile strength values of 9 different rock types including sedimentary, metamorphic ...

Direct Tensile Tests on Concretelike Materials: Structural and Constitutive Behaviors

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2001
The complete stress-strain and stress-crack opening response of a concretelike material loaded in tension is examined starting from a series of displacement-controlled tests on notched cylinders, whose end sections were prevented from rotating (fixed platens). The test results refer to two very high-strength cementitious composites (tensile strength fc

A Direct Tensile Strength Testing Method for Unsaturated Geomaterials

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2004
Abstract The current paper presents a new method for testing direct tensile strength of unsaturated geomaterials, guided by a method developed for concrete testing (Hannant et al. 1999). The developed equipment is used for measurement of direct tensile strength of unsaturated reactive basaltic clay soils and crushed rocks stabilized with

Determining Tensile Properties of Mass Concrete by Direct Tensile Test

ACI Materials Journal, 1989
Strength, strain capacity, and modulus of elasticity were determined for eighty large prism specimens with enlarged ends, 45 x 45 cm in cross section and 360 cm long, and eighty 10 x 10 x 55 cm small prism specimens. The relationships between the tensile properties of full-mix mass concrete with 150 mm maximum size aggregate (MSA) and that of the same ...

Direct Tensile Testing of Concrete: A Review

Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. The concrete tensile strength is important in reinforced concrete design since it impacts tension-related issues, such as crack development and the overall structural integrity. This paper summarises the challenges associated with the accurate measurement of concrete tensile strength.
