 Introduction
In reinforced cement concrete members tensile stress and compressive
stress are developed due to loading. Mild steel and tor steel are used in
various R.C.C. members in the construction of structures. Mild steel used
to resist the tension developed in the structure. Determination of tensile
test of mild steel is necessary before its use in the structure. Stress-strain
curve for mild steel under tension shows all significant point which helps
to understand the basic concept of ductile behavior of material.

 Procedure
a] Measure the diameter of the specimen at three different sections. Calculate the original diameter
by taking average of three readings. The minimum overall length of the specimen shall be 20 times
diameter plus 200 mm.

b] Mark the gauge points over the grip length such that the gauge points distance is half the gauge
length i.e. half of 5.65√So where so is the cross-sectional area.

c] Fix up the bar in the appropriate crossheads so that it is subjected to tensile load.

d] Attach the extensometer on the bar at the central portion of the bar with

appropriate distance between upper & lower pivots of extensometer.

e] Select a suitable loading range depending on the diameter of specimen f] Switch on the machine
and open the control valve so that the load is increased gradually and at the required rate.

g] Record the load at suitable interval from the digital display unit or the load dial. h]
Corresponding to loads note the readings of Extensometer.

i] For initial few observations load and extension are in pace with each other.. Record the yield
point load by observing the hesitation of load pointer reading. The extension reading are faster at
this moment.

j] Remove the extensometer, and start to measure extension of gauge length by divider or suitable
scale. Stop measurement when maximum load has reached.

k] Record the maximum load. Observe the decrease in load and neck formation on the specimen.

8
I]Record the load at fracture and put off the machine.

m] Remove the specimen. Observe the cone & cup formation at the fracture point. Rejoin the two
pieces, measure the final gauge length and the reduced diameter.

n] Plot the graph of Stress verses strain for mild steel and determine the modulus of elasticity.

Observation after test

1) Final gauge length = g1 = 62mm

2) Reduced diameter = d1 = 7.7mm

Calculations
a) Original area = A = π/4 x d² = 78.54 mm²
A¹ = π/4 xd² = 46.6 mm²
b) Gauge length of g = 5.65 √So or 5d (for round bars)
c) Stress 6 = load/ Original cross-sectional area
= 40×103 ÷ 78.54
= 509.29
d) Strain= Extension / Gauge length of the Extensometer
= 12÷50
= 0.24
e) Modulus of Elasticity E= stress ÷ strain
= 509.29 ÷ 0.24

= 2122.04 N/mm²

f) Percentage elongation = [(g-g')/g] x 100 =(( 62 – 50 )÷ 50) ×100

= 24 %
g) percentage reduction in area = [(A-A')/A] x 100

13
= ((78.54-46.6)÷78.54) × 100

= 40.66

Results
a) Yield stress = 509.29
b) Nominal breaking Stress = 49 KN/mm2
c) Percentage elongation = 24%
d) Modulus of elasticity ( by calculation) = 2122.04N/mm 2

3) Final gauge length = g1 = 60mm

4) Reduced diameter = d1 = 7.3mm

17
Calculations
a) Original area = A = π/4 x d² = π/4 × (10)² = 78.54
b) Reduced area = A’ = π/4 × d² = π /4 × ( 7.3 )² = 41.83
c) Gauge length of g = 5.65 √So or 5d (for round bars)
d) Stress 6 = load / original cross section area
= 40 × 10³ / 78.54
= 509.29

e) Strain = Extension / Gauge length of extensometer

= 10 /50
= 0.2mm
f) Modulus of elasticity = stress / strain
= 509.29 / 0.2
= 2546.45 N/mm²
g) % elongation = [ ( g - g’ ) / g] × 100
= 60 – 50 / 50 × 100
= 20 %
h) % Reduction in area = [ ( A – A’ ) / A ] × 100
= 78.54 – 41.83 / 78.54 × 100
= 46.74 N/mm²

18
Results
e) Yield stress = 509.29 N/mm²
f) Nominal breaking Stress = 52.8 KN/mm²
g) Percentage elongation = 20%
h) Modulus of elasticity ( by calculation) = 2546.45 N/mm2

 Comparison between Shakti cold 500 and
Kamdhenu 500 TMT bars

Bars % elongation Nominal Modhulus of

breaking stress elasticity
Shakti cold 500 24% 49 KN/mm2 2122.04N/mm2
Kamdhenu 500 20% 52.8 KN/mm² 2546.45 N/mm2

Conclusion
Hence, we conclude that the %elongation of Shakti cold is mare than
Kamdhenu bar and Nominal breaking stress & Modulus of elasticity of
Shakti cold bar is less than Kamdhenu bar.
Then we can say that the load bearing capacity of Kamdhenu bar is good
than Shakti cold bar.
