Why is it important?

Existing methods are based on indirect testing methods. This may not lead to accurate values of tensile strength of concrete. This method is for determining the tensile strength of concrete in a simple way at the same time producing correct results

Perspectives

After so many years working on concrete, my students and I came up with a simple method for determining the tensile strength of concrete. This method can be used in industry and research institutions.
