Dear all,
Please can you tell me what is the loading rate to test the concrete cylinders (150 mm x 300 mm) to estimate the tensile strength?
Best Wishes,
Najia
Approximately 0.02 - 0.1 MPa. You can follow this link, it is useful:

Thank you alot
Apply the load continuously without shock at a rate of approximately 14-21kg/cm2/minute
