Curvature Ductility of Singly Reinforced CRC Beams (Part-II)

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article (Part-II) continues the work of a previous article (Part-I). It undertakes a theoretical analysis of the curvature ductility factor (CDF) of a singly reinforced CRC (crumb rubber concrete) beam and demonstrates how CRC’s material ductility is transformed into structural ductility of a reinforced CRC beam. The result shows that CDF for a reinforced CRC beam is much higher than that for a conventional concrete reinforced beam.
