EARTHQUAKE IMPACT REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE COMPOSITE MATERIAL TO SAVE LIFE LINE IN RURAL AREAS

Abstract eng:
This paper reports test results of 25 grossly under reinforced relatively large size simply supported tapered concrete beams subjected to flexural effects up to failure. The first set of 5 beams was nonfibrous. Twenty beams were divided into 4 sets containing steel fibres as additional reinforcement up to one-third, half, two-third and three-fourth the depth of the beam from the bottom, respectively. All sets of beams had variation in the tapered angle as 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100.The strength and stability parameters were measured. It is established that FRC tapered beams can be used economically in earthquake-prone areas.
