Think of a tensile load as a "pulling" force. A tensile load is the only type of load that can be taken by a rope, for instance.
If the test is set to load-control , it means that the stress will not drop once the fracture become unstable. In displacement control the stress may drop at unstable fracture.
Tensile strength is the ultimate capacity of the material to resist a tensile load regardless of deflection.Tensile modulus also known as Young's modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of an isotropic elastic material. It is defined as the ratio of the uniaxial stress over the uniaxial strain. It is determined from the slope of a stress-strain curve traced during tensile tests conducted on a sample of the material.
singly reinforcement beam have steel provided only one side tension an another side compression. tension takes steel load or tensile load and compression takes concrete or compressive load.
Compressive strength is greater than tensile strength not just in beams, but in metals, concrete, ceramics, ice, and many other materials. Consider a uniaxial test of tension or compression. Because the cross-sectional area of the sample increases with the load, the stress is actually lower than what we would expect from dividing the load by the area of an unloaded sample. The opposite is true for a tension test. The cross section gets smaller with increasing load. Remember this is true regardless of whether the deformations are reversible and elastic or irreversible and plastic. Therefore the nominal compressive strength is greater than the nominal tensile strength even in a perfectly isotropic material.
why the tensile properties of most brittle materials are accessed by transverse bending tests and not ascertain by tensile tests
A sample is tested using a tensile test machine by loading it in a direction along its axis. The load is measured with a load cell, and when the sample breaks its tensile strength is determined by dividing the failure load by its area.

a coupon is placed in tensile test machine and pulled on along its axis with a known load; when it breaks that is its tensile load strength; divide by coupon cross sectional area to get ultimate stress. Usually the coupon is shaped as a dog bone to provide grip at the ends and failure in the middle
tensile stress=tensile load/cross sectional areaex. tensile stress= p/a= 50kilo newton x 1000n/kg divide by pi/4(20)^2=159.15N/mm^2
It is a failure caused by a load in tension; that is, a force that stretches the material. For example, if you pull a beam along its axis and stetch it until it breaks, that is a tensile failure.
tensile stress is due to just the tension in the load whereas breaking stress can be due to breaking,shearing or compression!
If the test is set to load-control , it means that the stress will not drop once the fracture become unstable. In displacement control the stress may drop at unstable fracture.
Tensile strength testing is used to determine the outcome/ behaviour of certain materials when an axial stretching load is applied. One can get tensile strength results from: 'Chatillon', 'ATSM', 'Science Partner (SP)'.
The splitting tensile test specimen is subjected to a compressive load. For brittle matrixes such as cementitious products, the compressive strength is typically around an order of magnitude higher than tensile strength. On a microstructure scale, the compressive forces are trying to crush the individual crystallites while the tensile forces only have to fracture the connections between crystallites. The splitting tensile test specimen fails due to the tensile forces generated as it distorts perpendicular to the applied compressive load. In practice, a loading cap on the loading faces of the specimen generates a compressive column in the sample and the true failure is in shear along this compressive column due to the tensile forces. In practicality, this test is also useful for flexural testing of weak composite materials where in both cases a compressive load generates tensile forces that initiate a failure that travels to the neutral axis resulting in shear as well.
It all depends on the dimensions of the steel beam
Tensile strength is one of the basic and important properties of the concrete. The concrete is not usually expected to resist the direct tension because of its low tensile strength and brittle nature. However, the determination of tensile strength of concrete is necessary to determine the load at which the concrete members may crack. The cracking is a form of tension failure.
