By applying compressive forces to concrete specimens, typically after 28 days of curing, engineers are able to calculate the maximum load that the specimens can support before failing.
To guarantee the durability and security of concrete structures, engineers can optimize mix designs, construction techniques, and quality control measures with the help of the split tensile test.

A New Concrete Failure Phenomena Due to Sulfate Attack Wang Yan1, a, Gao Rui2, a, Zhang Hong Wu 3, b and Yang Ling Qiang 2,c 1Subject Developing Department, University of Jinan, Jinan, Shandong province, China 2 School of Civil Engineer and Architecture, University of Jinan, Jinan, Shandong province, China 3Energy Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences, Jinan, China acea_gaor@ujn.edu.cn, bshengchan@sangle.com, c cea_yanglq@ujn.edu.cn Keywords: Concrete; Failure; Sulfate attack Abstract.
Therefore it is necessary to study the reason and mechanism of concrete due to sulfate attack at low value in the eastern region to be sure of the safe operation of engineering.
Based on the test results, most sections of the engineering are in the weak attack environment and only individual sections are in the moderate attack environment. this is good condition for engineer.
Fig. 1 SEM-EDAX of sample in field engineer Fig. 2 SEM-EDAX of sample contact with water in field engineer To be safe, another test method was also used to approved the conclusion.
The concrete is damaged due to contact dissolution in hydraulic engineering that has long been reported.
