Flexural Failure of RC Beam - Concrete Laboratory Testing

Flexural strength also known as modulus of rupture, bend strength, or fracture strength, is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.

The flexural strength represents the highest stress experienced Within the material at its moment of rupture. It is measured in terms of stress. To overcome this type of failure, main steel is provided at the bottom/top of the beam. Flexural failure occurs at mid span of beam. There are many causes of flexural failure.

The flexural failure is governed by concrete crushing after yielding of the steel. Indeed, the deformation capacity of the steel is normally not crucial.

SP 16 :1980 - Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS:456

The structural practice handbook SP:16-1980 Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS:456-1978 has tables and charts that helps structural engineers to rapidly design simple sections. Even though the design aid is based on the 1978 code, it continues to be used without revision as there have been no major changes to Section 5, on which the design aid is based.

IS 13920 : 2016 -Ductile Design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces-Code of practice

IS 13920 : 2016 - Ductile Design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces-Code of practice since it was first published in 1993. Most of the older provisions have been redrafted and modified for greater clarity and new provisions have been added. Much of the this revision is based on the IITK-GSDMA document of proposed draft provisions. To Download II Click Here II

------------- Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures --------------- By, Poonam I. Modi & Chirag N. Patel

Since the subject of repairs and rehabilitation is very exhaustive and entails great complexities / varieties in terms of types of distress / deterioration, materials and techniques available for repairs and rehabilitations, it has always been a daunting task for the authors to select aspects to be covered in this book. Following sections gives the panoramic view of this book organized into six chapters: Chapter 1 (Introduction) gives quick overview and relevance of repairs and rehabilitation of structures besides outlining general scenario of prevalence of deterioration of concrete structures, broad reasons for distress in structures explaining what can go wrong with structures, and a general roadmap and steps to be followed for carrying out any structural repairs and rehabilitation. This section also defines some of the important terms that are used in this book. Chapter 2 (Distress in Structures- Serviceability and Durability...
