| Summary: | A beam is a member subjected to loads applied transverse to the long dimension,
causing the member to bend. This research presents an investigation of flexural and
long-term behavior of reinforced concrete beam. It consists of two part of analysis
which is theoretical analysis and the experiment study for deflection of reinforced
concrete beam. Flexural behavior was investigated through theoretical analysis and
experimental study while the long-term behavior was investigated through theoretical
study only. In theoretical analysis, the calculation is based on the cracked and
uncracked section. Comparison is made between the theoretical and experimental
results for the flexural behavior. In long-term behavior deflection, it can be seen that the
deflection is about 2.6 times more after six month period. So, it is necessary to consider
creep and shrinkage deflection in design. |
