Splitting tensile strength and compressive strength relationship at early ages

Splitting tensile strength and compressive strength relationship at early ages

Test results show that compressive and splitting tensile strengths of concrete are related, especially at early ages. An increase in one is generally reflected in the other, but the commonly accepted 0.5 power relationship is inaccurate at all ages. Tensile strength is proportional to 0.79 power of...

Zusammenfassung:Test results show that compressive and splitting tensile strengths of concrete are related, especially at early ages. An increase in one is generally reflected in the other, but the commonly accepted 0.5 power relationship is inaccurate at all ages. Tensile strength is proportional to 0.79 power of cylinder compressive strength. A new relationship between the two is proposed.
