Abstract

Extensive research is going on nowadays on the structural performance of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) as an extension of the recent advances in concrete knowledge. Thesis offerings a direction to examine the shear behavior as well as determining the cracking and ultimate shear capacities of RPC T-beams. The mechanical features of this construction material and the approach to revise the reactive powder shear hybrid segment T- Beams are cast-off in this motion are investigated in this experimental study. In order to evaluate the effects of steel fiber volumetric ratio, silica fume ratio, tensile steel ratio, hybrid section on Reactive powder T-beam flexural efficiency, the experimental program involved testing four beams. The goal of the research was to figure out the load-deflection behavior, letdown mode, strain supply over the depth of the beams, and failure crack pattern. In examining the mechanical properties of Reactive powder mixtures, the volumetric ratio of steel fibers and the silica fume ratio were also studied. Furthermore, a hybrid beams study revealed that the use of reactive powder web and normal concrete in flange effectively improves the performance of T-beams when compared to normal concrete T-beams by 12%, and hybrid beams have also revealed that the use of reactive powder flange and normal concrete in web effectively improves the show of T-beams when compared to regular concrete T-beams by 28%
