The Effect of Longitudinal Steel Ratio on Flexural Behavior of Reinforced High Strength Concrete Beams

주철근비에 따른 고강도 콘크리트 보의 휨거동

Eight singly reinforced high strength concrete beams were tested to investigate their flexural behavior. The variable is tensile steel raio. The test results are presented in terms of load-deformation behavior, ductility indexes, and cracking patterns. The flexural strengths obtained experimentally are compapred to the analytical results, and good agreements are obtained. The flexural design provisions of the ACI Building Code are found to be adequate to predict the strength of reinforced high-strength concrete beams.
