Development of a new test for determination of tensile strength of concrete blocks

An accurate experimental, numerical and analytical analysis of masonry structures is only possible if detailed information on the mechanical properties of masonry materials is known. In general, tensile strength of fragile brittle materials is a property difficult to measure in direct tensile tests....
