Effect of various mix parameters on the true tensile strength of concrete by Hamid Reza Azizipesteh Baglo

“…The tensile strength of concrete has traditionally been expressed in terms of its compressive strength (e.g. ft = c × c f ). Based on this premise, extensive laboratory testing was conducted to evaluate the tensile strength of the concretes, including the direct tension test and the indirect cylinder splitting and MOR tests. …”
