Experimental investigation of tensile behaviour of high strength concrete

467-472In the design of structures, it is necessary to know about the tensile strength as well as the compressive strength and durability, which are considered to be the most important properties of concrete. In this study, 44-81 MPa high strength concretes are produced. The uniaxial tensile, split tensile and flexural tensile tests are conducted and the relationships between the respective tensile strengths are investigated
