Experimental Investigation of Reinforced High-Strength Concrete Beam

Abstract:

Building industry is an important player that consumes a significant part of raw materials and energy. With regard to construction industry sustainable development and design requirements there is a space for innovative solutions, where one of the possibility include the use of high-strength concrete. The paper deals with the substantial description and detailed evaluation of the testing of reinforced high strength concrete beam which was exposed to three point loading test. Large scale experiment was complemented with material diagnosis of selected mechanical properties using destructive and non-destructive methods. Non-destructive methods were used to verify compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity. Destructive compressive strength testing was applied on cylinder samples prepared with core drilling and determined values were compared with non- destructive testing. Measured data will be used for future advanced non-linear modelling.
