Significance and Use

Rock is much weaker in tension than in compression. Thus, in determining the failure condition for a rock structure, many investigators employ tensile strength of the component rock as the failure strength for the structure. Direct tensile stressing of rock is the most basic test for determining the tensile strength of rock.

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the direct tensile strength of intact cylindrical rock specimens.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
