Question 1

What happens when tensile stress exceeds tensile strength in concrete?

  • It becomes stronger
  • It cracks
  • It bends

💡 Hint: Think about the breaking point of materials.

Question 2

Tensile failure is a brittle failure. True or False?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the abrupt nature of cracks.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete beam is designed with a tensile strength of 2.5 MPa. A load is applied that creates a tensile stress of 3 MPa. What will happen to the beam? Explain the process leading to its failure.

💡 Hint: Consider what occurs when the limits of material properties are reached.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where a bridge made from concrete is being evaluated for tensile failure. Discuss the variables that could influence tensile strength under different environmental conditions and potential reinforcements that could be used.

💡 Hint: Consider how external factors modify the material properties.
