✅ Tensile Test (also called Tension Test) 🔹 Definition: A tensile test is a test used to find how a material behaves when it is pulled (stretched) until it breaks. ⸻ 🔹 Purpose: To determine the mechanical properties of a material, such as: 1. Yield strength – the stress at which the material starts to deform permanently. 2. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) – the maximum stress it can handle before breaking. 3. Elongation – how much it stretches before breaking (in %). 4. Modulus of Elasticity (

Tensile testing checks yield strength, ductility, elongation, and fracture behavior — the same properties that decide whether a structure bends safely or fails suddenly. As a civil engineer, this is not “just a lab test.” This is how codes, calculations, and site reality are connected. If you understand this test, you understand why RCC structures stand or collapse. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video clip is used under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, which allows “fair use” for purposes such as ed
