Test Study on Size Effect of Flexural Capacity of RC Cantilever Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

Analysis and calculation methods of reinforced concrete structure at present are based on test results of small-size component. This paper carried out test research on size effect of flexural capacity of RC cantilever beams. Sectional height of the biggest experimental specimen is 1000 mm. Obtaining detailed test data during different loading stage, such as carrying capacity, deflection, steel and concrete strain etc. Through observing test phenomenon and analyzing test data, verifying the safety to calculation formulas for ultimate bearing capacity of flexural members. Strength and ductility reserves show a growing trend with specimen size increasing.
