Tensile strength is difficult to directly measure because of secondary stresses induced by gripping a specimen so that it may be pulled apart.
Although still specified by ASTM, the direct tension test does not provide any useful insight into the concrete-making properties of cements. It
persists as a specified test because in the early years of cement manufacture, it used to be the most common test since it was difficult to find
machines that could compress a cement sample to failure. Today, tensile stresses are typically measured indirectly by one of two means: a splitting
tension test or a flexural strength test.
