The Plastic Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete Beams With Varying Percentages Of Reinforcing Steel Symmetrically Placed, J. Leroy Hulsey

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study is to determine the limitations of the plastic behavior of reinforced concrete beams with varying percentages of high strength steel (ASTM-A-432) cutoff in the compression region d distance beyond the point of inflection. Comparison was made with the derived equations.

Steel was placed symmetrically in order to obtain like action at critical sections. The members tested were of a propped beam nature having a total clear span of 5'6" with a 6" overhang on one end and 1'6" overhang on the other. Concentrated loads were applied so as to obtain midspan loading and fixed end …
