Hello Praveen Anand,
Flexural strength is the capacity of concrete to resist bending of concrete beams under transverse loads whereas tensile strength is the capacity of concrete to resist tension.
Flexural strength is also called as modulus of rupture and as per our IS 456: 2000 the flexural tensile strength is calculated as f
cr = 0.7√f
ck , where f
ck is the characteristic compressive strength of concrete

What its the difference btw flexural and tensile modulus in concrete? And how these can be calculated ?
