Concrete under various loads
Concrete very rarely undergoes a crushing or
compression failure. Typically, tensile strains generated
in the lateral direction (perpendicular to the loading
direction) due to Poisson effect are responsible for
cracking leading to failure of concrete.

Uniaxial loading
Failure planes in uniaxial compression are the planes of
principal tensile strains, which are parallel to the
direction of the applied load.
