Tensile Strength of Cement Determine the Tensile
Jun 04, 2012 · Importance: Cement is usually subjected to compressive stresses when used in the form of concrete or mortar. The most comprehensive test for cement or for a mixture of it with sand is done by determining its crushing strength.Unfortunately, it requires a very costly machine and, therefore, the usual practice is to use the tensile test instead which can be carried out very cheaply.
