Abstract
There is an opinion that the Brazilian test is not valid for materials where the ratio, n = Rc/Rt, between compressive strength, Rc, and tensile strength, Rt, is low. This article supports the view that the Brazilian test is valid for materials which exhibit brittle failure. The continual δ model and β model created on the basis of the effective tensile stress are proposed. According to the latter model: Rt = (2P/πDL)(n + 3/n), of which experimental proofs are given.
