Question

Flexural tensile strength of concrete is measured by

• A. direct tension test in UTM
• B. applying compressive load along the diameter of the cylinder
• C. applying third point loading on a prism
• D. applying tensile load along the diameter of the cylinder

Answer 1

The correct option is C applying third point loading on a prism

Tensile strength of concrete is measured by applying third point loading on a prism.

• Flexural tensile strength of concrete is determine with the help of the mould of size $15cm\times 15cm\times 70cm$
