As per IS 5816 the rate of increase of load for split tensile test is given as (1.2 to 2.4)*(3.14/2)*l*d N/min...Will the same be applicable if we want to do the split tensile on a cube specimen? Why (3.14/2)*l*d is being multiplied?
Secondly, For doing split tensile on a paver block IS 15658 recommends applying a load corresponding to a stress of 0.05 MPa/sec. How to apply this load in terms of N/sec? What will be the area multiplied for a paver block so that the value of MPa/sec ( N/mm2/sec) changes to N/sec ? Suppose that we are using a paver block of dimensions 200 (l) * 100 (b) * 60 (ht)
