Q: Tensile strength of concrete is______of compressive strength of concrete.
  • A. 20%
  • B. 10%
  • C. 15%
  • D. 5%
Correct Answer: Option B - Tensile strength of concrete– Tensile strength of concrete is very low, the concrete resist compressive stresses, and approximately the tensile strength of concrete is hardly 10% of the compressive strength. • As per IS 456 : 2000 for RCC design, the tensile strength of concrete is neglected and hence not considered in the design of reinforced concrete structures.
