A New Method for Direct Tensile Testing of Concrete
Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2018 Abstract Different testing methods were used in previous studies to measure the direct tensile strength of concrete. However, these methods experienced several major deficiencies such as stress concentration at the end of the specimens because of inadequate gripping and loading eccentricity and nonuniform fracture plane because of ...

Tensile Properties and Tensile Failure Criteria of Layered Rocks
Applied Sciences, 2022 Rocks are less resistant to tension than to compression or shear. Tension cracks commonly initiate compression or shear failure. The mechanical behavior of layered rocks under compression has been studied extensively, whereas the tensile behavior still ...

Comparative Study on the Bond Strength between Direct Tensile Test and Indirect Tensile Test for Bonded Concrete Overlay [PDF]
Journal of The Korean Society of Civil Engineers, 2013 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.

An Innovative Test Method for Tensile Strength of Concrete by Applying the Strut-and-Tie Methodology [PDF]
, 2020 Tensile strength is one of the important mechanical properties of concrete, but it is difficult to measure accurately due to the brittle nature of concrete in tension. The three widely used test methods for measuring the tensile strength of concrete each

A Discussion about the Rod Position in the Splitting Tensile Tests on Hollow Concrete Blocks
Buildings, 2022 Different loading conditions cause different tensile stress patterns in masonry structures. Several studies related to masonry behavior use indirect tensile tests to obtain that value, where the splitting test from ASTM-C-1006 is usually employed.

3action: Advances in direct-tensile testing of concrete
Materials and StructuresAbstract Gaining a deeper insight into stress vs crack opening curve of concrete is essential, especially when crack stability governs the durability and the capacity of a structure. Despite its rationality, the direct-tension test faces the challenges entailed by strain-softening materials, namely axial and flexural instability.
