Tensile Strength On Cement Mortar

Tensile Strength of Cement test was formerly used to have an indirect indication of compressive strength of cement. It is at present generally used for the rapid hardening cement. Tensile Strength of Cement Test Procedure: (i) The mortar of cement and sand is prepared. The tensile strength of concrete is its capacity to resist cracking or breaking under tension. Although concrete is rarely loaded under pure pressure in a structure, determining the tensile strength is necessary to understand the extent of the possible damage.
