Experimental and Numerical Study to Determine the Relationship between Tensile Strength and Compressive Strength of Concrete

As one of the most widely used materials in different structures, concrete is a material evaluated and categorized based on compressive strength criterion. In addition, national and international codes (INBC- part ۹) and standards determine the tensile strength of concrete based on its compressive strength. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between compressive strength and tensile strength of C۲۰, C۳۰ and C۴۰ grades. In this laboratory research, a total of ۴۲ cubic specimens of ۱۵۰ × ۱۵۰ × ۱۵۰ mm and ۴۲ cylindrical specimens of ۳۰۰ × ۱۵۰ mm were assessed under compressive and tensile tests, respectively. Based on the results of this study, the relationships presented in Ninth Article of Iranian National Building Codes, ACI-۳۱۸ and Euro Code ۲ have been evaluated.
