*2.3.2 Split tensile strength test*

To measure the tensile strength of concrete, cylinder specimens are placed centrally between the plates and the load is gradually applied in such a way that fracture plane will pass along its vertical diameter of specimen (**Figure 5**). The test was carried out as per IS code 5816:1999 [12] speficications.
