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

  1. nikeetasharma

    nikeetasharma Guru

    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.
