| Abstract: | Experimental
investigation of behaviour and ultimate failure mechanisms of reinforced
concrete (RC) beams help to better understand their in-situ reactions in RC structures and enable more realistic
designs to be made. In this study, a total of nine RC beams with varying
dimensions have been produced and subjected to flexural loading. The mid-section displacements and the loads have been
measured. In order to investigate and model the
load-displacement behaviour of RC beams of different configurations in detail,
a multidimensional data analysis technique has been used. The triangular-base
multidimensional data analysis (TBI) procedure applied herein is generally used
for digital terrain modelling especially in geodesy and photogrammetric
engineering and computer-aided modelling applications. Comparison of the
experimentally determined relationships with those given by the developed TBI
model has revealed close agreements. With the help of
this TBI model, the approximate behaviour of an RC beam of certain dimensions
for which the strength of concrete and the amount of reinforcement are given
can be determined very closely. The classical finite element method has
been used in the prediction of behaviours of RC beams in conjunction with the
developed TBI model. |
