    My answer would be, “Food, clothes, and shelter are the basic necessities of mankind. Civil engineering provides one of the three basic necessities. I also chose civil engineering because it is the most practical branch of civil engineering. It gives life to the drawings. The satisfaction of looking at your drawings and designs getting life and standing up tall can not be compared to any other form of pleasure!”

Why only cylinders shape were used to test Split Tensile Strength of Concrete?

    Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.

    If we talk about malleability and ductility both are connected or related. A malleable material is one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling. In other words, the material has the ability to deform under compressive stress. And here ductility is the ability of the solid material to deform under tensile stress. Practically, a ductile material is a material that can easily be stretched into a wire when pulled.
