RESULT AND CONCLUSION:
2. INDIRECT TENSILE TEST (SPLITTING TEST)
OBJECTIVES:
1. To determine the tensile strength of concrete.
2. To compare the strength obtained with designed tensile strength.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. Compression Testing Machine
2. Metal Plates
3. Wooden Strips
SPECIMEN USED:
Prepared by: Subedi, R.
1. Cube
2. Cylinder
THEORY: DOE/ACI/IS
PROCEDURE:
1. Centre lines were marked on the specimen by pencil.
2. The wooden strip was set at opposite side of cube and cylinder
3. The whole arrangement was then placed in the test machine and the load at which the
specimen failure takes place was recorded.
