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.

IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 - Criteria For Earthquake Resistant Design Of Structures - General Provisions And Buildings

The provisions of this standard are applicable for design of structures like parking structures, security cabins and ancillary structures taking into account appropriate earthquake effects as per this standard. This standard is also applicable for design of temporary elements, such as scaffolding and temporary excavations. This standard does not deal with construction features relating to earthquake resistant buildings and other structures. For guidance on earthquake -resistant construction of buildings, reference may be made to the latest revisions of the following Indian Standards: IS 4326, IS 13827, IS 13828, IS 13920, IS 13935 and IS 15988. The provisions of this standard are applicable even to critical and special structures, like nuclear power plants, petroleum refinery plants and large dams. For such structures, additional requirements may be imposed based on special studies, such as site-specific hazard assessment. In such cases, the earthquake effects specified by
