Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of I-Pillars of Noise Barriers Made of Prestressed Steel Fiber Concrete, Prestressed Concrete and Reinforced Concrete with Footings Length of 600 mm

Abstract:

This paper deals with the experimental testing and theoretical analysis of the flexural load-bearing capacity of I-shaped pillars in noise barriers made of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and prestressed steel fiber reinforced concrete. The pillars were loaded as a cantilever under a flexural load, which corresponds to their actual loading when the effect of wind on the panels of the noise barrier is taken into account. For the purpose of the present research, three specimens of I-pillars were tested. The results of the experimental loading tests, as well as the calculated results and the comparison between them, are herein presented.
