Tensile Strength of Concrete in Combined Stress Design Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tensile Strength of Concrete = 7.5*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete)
f_r = 7.5*sqrt(f'_c)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Tensile Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Megapascal) - Tensile Strength of Concrete is the maximum stress that concrete can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. Concrete is weak in tension & strong in compression.
Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Megapascal) - Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is the maximum compressive load concrete can withstand after the concrete mix is formed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete: 50 Megapascal --> 50 Megapascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_r = 7.5*sqrt(f'_c) --> 7.5*sqrt(50)

Evaluating ... ...

f_r = 53.0330085889911

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

53033008.5889911 Pascal -->53.0330085889911 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

What is Tensile Strength?

Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials, the material breaks soon after the yield point have been reached.

How significant is the Tensile Strength of Concrete in Design of Structures?

Tensile strength is an important mechanical property of concrete, although its value accounts only for 7–15% of its compressive strength. In the design of reinforced concrete members, the tensile strength of the concrete is generally ignored.
