Split-tensile Strength The splitting tests are well known indirect tests‚ were conducted as per IS 5816:1999 and used in the concrete tensile strength determination sometimes called split tensile strength of concrete. The size of cylinder is 300mm length with 150mm diameter or 200mm with 100mm diameter. The specimen were kept in water for curing for 3 days‚ 7 days and 21 days and on test day remove and allow the surface to dry. The test is performed out by placing a cylindrical specimen horizontally
