Flexural Behaviour Of Over-Reinforced Concrete Beam Using External Steel Plate, Shatha Sahib Kareem
Student Works (2020-2029)
Over-reinforced concrete beam fails by crushing of the concrete compression zone before the yielding of steel reinforcement in the tension zone. An over-reinforced concrete beam may failed suddenly without warning before failure as the failure is instantaneous. Therefore, numerous codes of practices recommended a beam design to avoid brittle failure. However, in some situations, due to the limitation of spaces, using over-reinforced concrete beam is not avoidable. Previous researches showed that it is possible to design an over-reinforced concrete beam without brittle failure using the methods such as helical-reinforcement, short-stirrups, and hybrid-system.
