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.

What is tensile test?

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.

In splitting tensile test actually you are getting compressive strength but in answer you are writing it as tensile strength why?

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.

What is the difference between a load-controlled tensile test and a displacement-controlled tensile test?

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.
