Abstract
In this study, the determination of flexural tensile strength of concrete kerbstone is investigated. Currently, the flexural tensile strength of concrete kerbstone is determined using simple bending formula. However, due to the unsymmetrical cross-section of kerbstone, the bending take place on the section of kerbstone is not simple bending but bi-axial bending. The study shows how the flexural tensile strength for unsymmetrical sections should be determined. Additionally, flexural strength results obtained using the simple bending formula suggested by certain specifications and bi-axial bending formula used in the study were compared. As a result of the study, it was found that bi-axial bending formula gave higher values than that of the simple bending formula.
