07 Explore Reinforce Concrete Beam

Experiement | Learning By Making | Diploma | Semester 2 | Taylor Lakeside University

The aim of this experiment is to study By using a hook to hold the
the strength and duc�lity of reinforce load of two begs full of laptop
concrete beam. The work is done by a phones and other object. With
group of 5. Work are being divided the result we learn that “The

rate material models which are com-
bined together with a model of the
interac�on between reinforcing steel
and concrete through bond-slip to

ite reinforced concrete material”.

We had to test it on three different size
of beam [( 2 x 28 x 2 )cm, ( 3 x 28 x 2 )cm
and ( 2 x 28 x 3 )cm], that we made using
real concrete. This is done in order to
see and understand how much load can
the different beam holds.
