For most design situations the assumption is 0 tensile strength. However, the modulus of rupture (also known as the tensile stress at failure due to bending) is around 190 psi for 4000 psi concrete.

it is around one tenth of the compressive strength

You may find the equation for spilliting tensile strength interms of compressive strentgh from ACI code.
