Structural Performance of RC and R-ECC Dapped-End Beams Based on the Role of Hanger or Diagonal Reinforcements Combined by ECC

Twenty-seven large-scale beams with dapped-end have been prepared, cast and tested to failure in the three points loading arrangement. One control beam has been designed in accordance with requirement of standard code while the dapped-end reinforcement scheme of other beams has been derived from the...

Description
Summary:Twenty-seven large-scale beams with dapped-end have been prepared, cast and tested to failure in the three points loading arrangement. One control beam has been designed in accordance with requirement of standard code while the dapped-end reinforcement scheme of other beams has been derived from the control beam. In selected beams, engineered cementitious composites (ECC) has been utilized in the dapped-end region. The test results exhibited that DR is more appropriate and higher capacity than HR in resisting the shear force. In addition, the reinforced engineered cementitious composites dapped-end beams (R-ECC-DEB) showed higher structural performance compared to the normal reinforced concrete dapped-end beams (RC-DEBs). The strength of ECC also has direct effect on the failure capacity of the R-ECC-DEB, in which higher strength of ECC leads to higher failure capacity of R-ECC-DEB. © 2019, The Author(s).
