Abstract:
In order to study the flexural behavior of coarse recycled aggregate-filled plain concrete beams, two beams were made. The experiment of simply supported beam under concentrated loads is performed, which makes us get the ultimate flexural capacity, midspan deflection and the development of cracks of each beam, and the numerical simulation of the damage process of beams is also carried out using finite element software. The results indicated that the tension property of coarse recycled aggregate-filled plain concrete beam is better than ordinary concrete beam, and some failure forms of bending is similar; the strength of recycled aggregates greatly influences flexural behavior of coarse recycled aggregate-filled plain concrete beam.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the flexural performance of FRP/FRC hybrid reinforcement system as well as FRP/plain concrete beams. Test results showed that the crack widths of FRP/FRC beams were smaller than those of FRP/plain concrete beams at the different corresponding load. With the increase of load, the crack spacing slightly decreased. The plain concrete beams failed in a more brittle mode than the FRC beams. Once they reached their ultimate moments, the load dropped fleetly. Compared to the companion beam, the addition of fibers improved the flexural behavior.

Abstract: To study the flexural behaviour of plain cement concrete with self-compaction concrete using three point loading. We are using two different types of concrete (Plain Cement Concrete and Self Compaction Concrete). For this we are using M20 grade concrete. We cast cubes and beams of sizes 150x150x150mm and 150x150x700mm respectively.Based on the test results it is concluded that the flexural strength of the self-compaction concrete beams is more than the plain cement concrete beams. And in the combination also the flexural strength is more when the plain cement concrete layer is at the bottom while the selfcompaction concrete layer is at top.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the flexural performance of plain concrete beams bonded with wire mesh-epoxy composite. A total of four beam specimens were prepared and tested. Three specimens were bonded with same amount of wire mesh-epoxy composite with varying composite width and one plain concrete specimen was used as a control. The effect of wire mesh-epoxy composite on enhancing the flexural behaviour of concrete beams as well as the effect of different configurations of composite was studied. Test results showedthat the wire mesh-epoxy composite increased the flexural strength of concrete beams. The increase in energy absorption of bonded beams was remarkable. In addition, specimen with large composite width showed better behaviour with respect to energy absorption capability.

Abstract:
Strengthening of concrete structures have become inevitable due to unavoidable factors such as fatigue and aggressive environmental conditions causing deterioration of concrete structures. Many researchers have turned in the direction of using various high strength and high performance concretes due to their high structural and durability properties, for the purpose of repair and strengthening of concrete structures against these aggressive conditions. As a result, this study carryout experimental, numerical and analytical investigation to study the behaviour of plain concrete (PC) beams strengthened with High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (HPFRC) layer using three different jacketing configurations and tested in flexure. Results show significant improvement in both stiffness and load bearing capacity of plain concrete beams. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.6

Abstract:
In the paper, the own test results were presented. The experimental investigation was focused at determining the cracking and load capacity of beams made of concrete. The beams were characterized by different longitudinal reinforcement ratio from zero — plain concrete beams, through low ratio 0.12% — slightly reinforced concrete beams, middle ratio 0.9% — typical reinforced concrete beams, up to the ratios 1.3% and 1.8% — higher reinforced concrete beams. On the basis of the performed experiments and the results of numerical calculations, the process of crack’s formation and crack’s development in plain concrete, slightly reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete beams with different reinforcement ratio was described. When discussing cracking process in the beams, the contribution of strain softening of tensile concrete in the microcracked zone on the character of beams’ failure was analysed as well. Keywords: civil engineering, concrete and reinforced concrete members, cracking and load capacity.

Abstract:
In this study, plain concrete simply supported beams subjected to two points loading were analyzed for the flexure. The numerical model of the beam was constructed in the meso-scale representation of concrete as a two phasic material (aggregate, and mortar). The fracture process of the concrete beams under loading was investigated in the laboratory as well as by the numerical models. The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was employed for the treatment of the discontinuities that appeared during the fracture process in concrete. Finite element method with the feature standard/explicitlywas utilized for the numerical analysis. Aggregate particles were assumedof elliptic shape. Other properties such as grading and sizes of the aggregate particles were taken from standard laboratory tests that conducted on aggregate samples.Two different concrete beamswere experimentally and numerically investigated. The difference between beams was concentrated in the maximum size of aggregate particles. The comparison between experimental and numerical results showed that themeso-scale model gives a good interface for the representing the concrete models in numerical approach. It was concluded that the XFEM is a powerful technique to use for the analysis of the fracture process and crack propagation in concrete.

Abstract:
To study the structural responses of plain and steel fiber-reinforced concrete pavements under combined mechanical and thermal loads, two test series have been conducted with plain and steel fiber-reinforced concrete beams. The magnitude and duration of the differences in the induced stresses caused by traffic load and a positive nonlinear temperature gradient (the top surface was warmer than the bottom surface during the day) may lead to some relaxation of thermal stresses and subsequently increase the load-carrying capacity. Considering the loss of support contact in the interior part of the concrete pavement, the experimental study of combined loading with restrained concrete beams may provide some insight and an indication of whether the superposition of stresses is a proper approach. The beams were subjected to solely thermal, solely mechanical, and combined thermal and mechanical loads while the rotation of the beam at supports was prevented. The results of tests conducted with both plain and steel fiber-reinforced beams showed that the superposition of stresses under combined loading before cracking gave a satisfactory estimation of the load-carrying capacities. The results also showed that the effect of relaxation of stresses due to short-term thermal loads was not noticeable in the load-carrying capacity achieved in tests with combined thermal and mechanical loads. On the contrary, a tendency for reduction of the load-carrying capacity was observed at higher thermal gradients. In addition, the overall structural responses of steel fiber-reinforced concrete beams under mechanical load and a nonlinear temperature gradient combined were similar to the responses of plain concrete beams up to the cracking stage. However, the release of thermal stresses due to cracking and the considerable residual load-carrying capacity after cracking were the most important observations for steel fiber-reinforced concrete beams.

Abstract:
Structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns may require strengthening or repair during their service life. Different repair materials (RMs) are available and it is usually difficult to choose the best ones, especially when considering the cost of such materials. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of patch RMs on plain concrete prisms as well as on reinforced concrete beams. Three cement-based RMs available in the market with different mechanical properties and an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mix produced in the lab were used in the study. Damage was induced in prisms/beams and then repaired using different materials. The experimental work included assessment of the flexural strength of damaged/repaired plain concrete prisms; slant shear (bond) strength between the concrete and the RM; axial strength of damaged/repaired plain concrete prisms and bond of the repair materials in damaged/repaired reinforced concrete beams loaded to failure. The test results showed that all RMs performed well in restoring the strength of damaged plain concrete. Compatibility of the RMs with substrate concrete was found to be more important in the behavior than superior mechanical properties of the RMs. No difference was noted in the behavior between the RMs in repairing reinforced concrete beams at the tension side.
