Crack-Arrest Techniques in Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements. Report 1. Laboratory Tests

Abstract

In this study, tests were conducted to develop improved methods of arresting or preventing undesired flexural cracking within the tensile zones of conventionally reinforced concrete beams. Specimens representing several potential crack-arrest techniques including (a) fiber-reinforced concrete, (b) concrete with wire mesh, and (c) epoxy-resin concrete were tested under either short-or long-term static loading.
