Prediction of splitting tensile strength of high-performance concrete

Cement and Concrete Research, 2002
Splitting tensile strength (STS) is one of the concrete mechanical properties that are used in structural design. It can be related to numerous parameters, which include compressive strength, water/binder (W/B) ratio and concrete age. Until now, most researchers estimated the STS directly from compressive strength data.

Prediction of splitting tensile strength from the compressive strength of concrete using GEP

Neural Computing and Applications, 2011
Splitting tensile strength is one of the important mechanical properties of concrete that is used in structural design. In this paper, it is aimed to propose formulation for predicting cylinder splitting tensile strength of concrete by using gene expression programming (GEP).

Experimental relationship between splitting tensile strength and compressive strength of GFRC and PFRC

Cement and Concrete Research, 2005
Abstract This paper describes an experimental investigation into the relationship between the splitting tensile strength and compressive strength of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC). The splitting tensile strength and compressive strength of GFRC and PFRC at 7, 28 and 90 days are used.

Split tensile strength of soilcrete blocks

Nigerian Journal of Technological Research, 2015
With the ever increasing problems associated with dredging of rivers to obtain river sand, reduced dependence on river sand should be encouraged by using alternative materials in block production. This work deals with the production of soilcrete blocks using readily available and affordable laterite. Split tensile strength of the blocks was determined.

Numerical Simulation of Splitting Tensile Strength for Concrete

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
The random aggregate model was used to simulate the structure of concrete, and microscopic damage and crack of concrete in splitting tensile tests were simulated by Finite Element Method. The process of splitting tensile damage for concrete was studied.

Split tensile strength of slag-based boroaluminosilicate geopolymer

Journal of the Australian Ceramic Society, 2017
In this study, split tensile strength of the slag-based boroaluminosilicate geopolymers was studied. The metallurgical slag obtained from the rockwool furnace was used as the aluminosilicate source. The mixture of sodium hydroxide and borax was used as the alkali activator. The experiments were designed using the Taguchi method.

Concrete Uniaxial Tensile Strength and Cylinder Splitting Test

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2003
The widely used concrete tensile strength test, the Brazilian cylinder splitting test, is analyzed using isoparametric nonlinear finite strip elements. The results of the numerical analysis suggest that the apparent tensile strength obtained from the splitting test underestimates the uniaxial tensile strength of concrete.
