3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define tensile strength in concrete.
Think about how concrete behaves under pulling forces.
What percentage of compressive strength is tensile strength typically?
Consider the relationship between these two types of strength.
What is the primary characteristic measured by tensile strength?
Think about what happens when you pull on concrete.
True or False: Tensile strength is typically about 5% of compressive strength.
Reflect on the typical ratios we've discussed.
Evaluate a case study where a pavement cracked due to improper tensile strength. Suggest different design techniques to enhance its tensile strength.
Consider different ways of mixing and testing concrete.
Given a concrete sample with a compressive strength of 50 MPa, calculate the expected tensile strength and explain your reasoning.
Remember our discussion of the relationship between different strengths.
