Relations between indirect tensile and flexural strengths for dry and plastic concretes
Indirect tensile strength is not usually used for concrete mixtures proportioning and its technological control; flexural strength tests under third point loads arrangement are the pattern for such goals. Indeed, neither of such tests have the capability

MODELING THE BRAZILIAN TENSILE STRENGTH TEST OF LIGNITE FROM PESTEANA OPENPIT MINE USING THE COMBINED FINITE-DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD – FDEM [PDF]
Strength is the property of rocks to keep their internal structure unmodified and not deform under the action of a stress. Tensile strength is defined as the maximum tensile stress the rock can endure until its failure and it is usually lower than ...
