  • Abstract

    The present study aims at investigating the Code IS 456 specified flexure strengths of concrete. This investigation involved carrying out a split tensile test on cubes. The design mix calculations for M20, M25, M30, M40, M50 and M60 were done. Steel fibers were used to improve the resistance of fracture and tensile strength of concrete by its volume percentage of 1%, 2% and 3% for all the grades. The test

    was carried out on the universal testing machine using billets to apply point load on exactly mid of the cube. It was observed that the code specified flexure strength is a conservative estimate.
