INVESTIGATION OF RESISTANCE AND BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS SUBJECTED TO DYNAMIC LOADING, PART III

Abstract

An investigation was made to obtain, by means of tests, information which will contribute to a better understanding and more accurate prediction of the strength and behavior of reinforced concrete structhavior of simple-span reinforced concrete beams subjected to impulsive loading. To accomplish this, tests of beams and of reinforcing bar coupons were made and the resulting data analyzed. The practicability of an existing method of computing the resistance of dynamically loaded reinforced concrete beams was also checked. To this end, comparisons were made between the test results and the pres subjected to dynamic loading. The immediate objective was the determination of the resistance and behavior of simple-span reinforced concrete beams subjected to impulsive loading. To accomplish this, tests of beams and of reinforcing bar coupons were made and the resulting data analyzed. The practicability of an existing method of computing the resistance of dynamically loaded reinforced concrete beams was also checked. To this end, comparisons were made between the test results and the prediction of the method of analysis. (Author)
